Notes
Storage: Allow the Cajun Potato Soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, use freezer-safe containers, leaving some space at the top for expansion.
Reheating: To reheat the soup, gently warm it on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. If the soup has thickened in the fridge, you may need to add a splash of vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can use a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between.
Serving: Serve the Cajun Potato Soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or green onions for added flavor and color. Pair it with crusty bread or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving. This will enhance the Cajun spices and give the soup a delightful kick!
