    Creamy Cajun Chicken & Potato Soup


    Total Time: 1hr 30m
    Servings: 6 (About 1 cup each)


    Ingredients:

    1/4 cup unsalted,fat-free butter
    1 onion, diced
    3 carrots, peeled and diced
    2 stalks celery, diced
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    3 cups sodium-free chicken broth
    2 cups 2% milk, or more, as needed
    2 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
    2 cups diced cooked chicken breast
    1 1/2 cups shredded fat-free sharp cheddar cheese
    Salt substitute and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
    4 Tbsp of Cajun seasoning


    Directions

    Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

    Add onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

    Stir in thyme and Cajun seasoning until fragrant, about 1 minute.

    Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in potatoes.

    Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes. Stir in chicken and cheese, a handful at a time, until smooth, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the chowder is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
