I just made this and it’s SO GOOD!! My husband likes “flavour” but not a lot of “spice”. He thought this was the perfect blend! I did just throw it all in at the end, bacon, cheddar, cream cheese and chicken. Will definitely make it again!

Delish Test Kitchen

In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate, leaving about 1/4 cup bacon fat in pot. 

Add onion, bell pepper, chopped jalapeños, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to pot and cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes.

Stir in flour until it coats vegetables and forms a paste that starts to stick to bottom of pot. Whisk in broth and milk until combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by about one-quarter and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Stir in cream cheese until fully melted, then add chicken and three-quarters of bacon. Cook, stirring, until chicken and bacon are heated through, about 1 minute. Taste and season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, if needed.

Divide soup among bowls. Top with cheddar, remaining bacon, and sliced jalapeños as desired.

I really didn't know what to expect, but definitely a hit! I was worried that the cream cheese would be too overpowering, but all of the flavors really worked well with each other. I used a rotisserie chicken so it saved prep time and it tasted great. The jalapeno garnish on top adds nice spice and is quickly cooled by the milk and cream cheese. Definitely will make again!

This was really delicious! I pretty much followed the recipe except at the end, I added all the cheddar cheese and bacon to the soup rather than putting some on top. It worked out perfectly, and I'll definitely be making this again.

This turned out amazing! The bacon and cream cheese is so good in this recipe. I used a rotisserie chicken. Will definitely be making this a lot!

It was honestly so amazing. My boyfriend and I love soup and love trying new things so when I so happen to click on this website and it showed us this, we were so excited. We love spicy food and this one wasn't that spicy surprisingly. I actually used my own chicken recipe too. I pan fried mine enough to give it that crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. I forgot the bacon, but it still came out delicious. I could definitely see myself serving my this to my other family members. I will make this again too.

Wow! I love this! I did alter the recipe a bit. I had 2% milk instead of whole. I also had the reduced fat cream cheese so I just put the whole block of cream cheese in. I'm not a fan of green pepper so I used a pablano instead. This hit the craving and satisfied it more than I thought it would.

Made this soup in the insta pot, with the addition of wild rice. Put everything in instapot except for flour and dairy ingredients. Used whole chicken thighs upped the broth by about 1.5 cups and added 3/4 of brown wild rice and put under pressure for 25 minutes. Let steam release over ten minutes , shredded the chicken, and then added the entire block of cream cheese and the roux that I made on the stove. Added a handful of cheddar cheese to the soup. Garnished with fresh seranos, bacon and more cheese. Best soup I’ve had in a long time!

Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese

This hearty Cajun Potato Soup combines smoky andouille sausage with tender potatoes and vibrant vegetables, all spiced with classic Cajun seasoning. Creamy and cheesy, this warm soup is perfect for a comforting meal with a touch of southern flair.

Cajun Potato Soup with Sausage Recipe

vegetable oil

ring (13.5 ounces) andouille sausage, sliced into ¼-inch rounds

onion, diced (about 1 cup)

celery (about 1 rib)

red bell pepper,

Cajun seasoning

paprika

cayenne pepper

potatoes,

½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream

(113 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded

Parsley, chopped for garnish

Cook the sausage

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until hot. Add the andouille sausage slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the browned sausage from the pot and set aside on a plate or in a bowl.

Sauté the vegetables

In the same pot over medium heat, add diced onion, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook the vegetables until softened, approximately 5-8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Make the soup base

Stir in Cajun seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the vegetable mixture. Pour in the chicken broth and add the peeled, cubed russet potatoes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Finish the soup

Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Stir in the heavy whipping cream and shredded mild cheddar cheese. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is heated through.

Garnish and serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm for a comforting and flavorful meal.
