Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 links plant-based Cajun-style sausage sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • 3/4 cup yellow onion diced
  • 1/2 cup celery diced
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 cups chicken-style broth or vegetable broth
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup mild cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Set a large pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the sausage slices and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In the pot used for the sausage, add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add the Creole seasoning, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Pour in the broth and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Return the sausage to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
  • Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.
