Description

This creamy Cajun chicken soup is a flavorful and comforting dish perfect for a chilly day. It’s packed with spice from Cajun seasoning and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Return the chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and parsley. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through, but do not boil.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier soup, add more cayenne pepper.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts for chicken thighs.
  • This creamy Cajun chicken soup can be made ahead of time and reheated.
