Instructions

Homemade cajun seasoning is worth your time when made with good fresh spices. I highly recommend it! Try my Cajun Seasoning recipe. So good.
First, finely mince the onions. Then slice the carrots, and dice the celery, bell pepper, and potatoes into small ½" pieces. Same size pieces will all cook at the same time.
Slice the sausage into thin slices. Note: you can use crumbled sausage for this recipe, but sliced andouille sausages are best for great flavor because they are smoked and have a unique Cajun flavor!
In a skillet (or slow cooker with sauté function), saute 2 tablespoons butter, 2 cups finely minced onion, and 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning.
Sauté the butter, onions, and cajun seasoning to bring out deep flavor from the caramelization of the onions, browning the butter (even more flavor), and toasting the spices. This is ideal to take the flavor to the next level!
Optional: You can skip the saute step and add the same ingredients to your slow cooker and cook.
Next, add the sliced hot link sausages, diced celery, diced carrot, diced bell pepper, and diced potatoes.
Pour 1 quart (32 ounces) of chicken stock over the top and stir. Turn the slow cooker on high for two hours or cook on a low simmer for 4 hours. Don't let the soup boil. The potatoes and carrots should be fork-tender.
Right before serving, pour ½ pint of heavy cream and stir. Serve warm in bowls with bread sticks or crackers.
