Creamy Cajun Sausage and Potato Soup - whole30, gluten free

This Creamy Cajun Sausage and Potato Soup is the perfect fall comfort food recipe. It is gluten free, and even Whole30 compliant.

Ingredients

This easy cajun soup recipe comes together so quickly and is a nutrient powerhouse. The flavor and texture of the broth is reminiscent of gumbo, but without the need to make a flour based roux. That keeps this recipe gluten free, and also Whole30 compliant. For a low carb version, check out my recommendations for substitutions below. Speaking of gumbo, if you want to eat this gumbo style, it is amazing with white rice or cauliflower rice. If you aren't concerned with keeping this soup recipe dairy free, try serving it on top of my Buttery Cauliflower Rice Pilaf recipe.

How to convert to slow cooker

Short on time and want to make this recipe less hands on? While some recipes are a little trickier to convert to slow cooker, this is a great Whole30 soup recipe for the slow cooker since you can literally just dump in all of the ingredients and go. If you are going the slow cooker route, you can skip the olive oil. It is only used for browning the andouille. But if you do have a few extra minutes, I highly recommend browning the andouille before adding it to the slow cooker. It will help create more depth of flavor.

Substitutions and Swaps

• Not a fan of spicy foods? No problem! If heat isn't your thing, simply omit the cayenne and red pepper flakes and swap out the andouille for any type of sausage you prefer. From time to time, I like to switch things up and make this with a chicken apple sausage.
• Want to make this a low carb cajun soup? Just swap out the potatoes for cauliflower rice or florets, omit the carrots.
• Not a fan of coconut milk? Simply substitute heavy cream or any other type of full-fat milk substitute you prefer. You can also skip the milk altogether and puree half of the cooked veggies with an immersion blender to give the soup a silky, creamy texture.
• Have some cajun seasoning on hand? You can swap out all the spices in this recipe for 1 tablespoon of cajun seasoning. Then from there, taste and add more as needed. You may also need to add some additional salt.
• Mix and match your favorite vegetables! While this recipe calls for the holy trinity of bell peppers, onions, and celery, you can sub in any of your favorite vegetables. This dairy free soup recipe is a great way to use up vegetables that have reached that "use it, or lose it" stage.

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven, or stock pot. Once hot, add the andouille sausage and cook until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
2. To the sausage drippings in the pan, add the onion, bell pepper, carrot, garlic, and all seasonings. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.
3. Add the chicken stock and potatoes to the pot, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce to simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Add the andouille back to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Taste and add additional salt, if desired. Simmer for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Garnish with green onions.
