Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 4-5 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 12 oz. smoked sausage, chopped
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 2-3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-3 green onions sliced, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft, 3-5 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth, potatoes, sausage, corn and Cajun seasoning and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together milk and flour in a medium bowl until smooth. Slowly whisk milk mixture into soup and return to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir in green onions just before serving.
