1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Directions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
4. Add the potatoes, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika, stirring to combine.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Cover the pot and let the potatoes cook on low heat for about 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender and have absorbed the flavors.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Variations & Tips
For a less spicy version, reduce the amount of Cajun seasoning or use a mild variety. If you have picky eaters at home, you can add some diced carrots or celery to the pot for extra veggies. For a creamy twist, stir in a bit of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream before serving. You can also add some cooked sausage or bacon for a heartier, meatier dish.
