Andouille (on-DOO-ee) sausage is
a spicy Cajun pork sausage that’s
usually smoked. If you can’t find it,
kielbasa works fine.
Instructions
Brown andouille in oil in a pot
over medium-high heat, 2 minutes
per side; transfer to a plate and
drain all but 1 Tbsp. drippings.
Add scallion whites, celery, bell
peppers, Cajun seasoning, and
garlic; reduce heat to medium,
partially cover, and sweat until
vegetables soften, 5 minutes.
Stir in broth and potatoes,
partially cover, and bring soup
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer
soup until potatoes are fork-tender,
15 minutes. Coarsely crush potatoes
with a potato masher, then stir
in cream, scallion greens, and
andouille; season soup with salt,
black pepper, and Tabasco.

Dynamite. I like it without the dark part of the scallions but that’s personal preference. I used Cajun Power seasoning for my attempt. It’s fantastic all around, a great recipe. 5/5
