How to Make Creamy Cajun Zucchini And Potato Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 3 minced cloves of garlic.
  2. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened.
  3. Add 1 lb of peeled and diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  4. Remove about 100g of cooked potatoes and set aside for garnish.
  5. Add 2 diced zucchini to the pot and cook for 3 minutes, until slightly softened.
  6. In a separate saucepan, heat 4 cups of chicken broth. Add 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional). Bring to a simmer.
  7. Add the sautéed vegetables (onions, garlic, potatoes, and zucchini) to the simmering broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  8. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  9. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (in batches if necessary) and puree until smooth.
  10. Return the soup to the pot. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. Reheat gently over low heat. Do not boil!
  11. Serve hot in bowls, garnished with the reserved cooked potato cubes.
