Notes
- Most store-bought andouille is fully cooked, so there's no need to brown it first. For extra flavor, you can sear the slices in a skillet for a few minutes before adding them.
- Many Cajun seasoning blends already contain salt and cayenne. Taste the soup before adding the extra salt and cayenne, especially if you're serving kids or anyone sensitive to heat.
- For the smoothest texture, shred the cheddar from a block. Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking coatings that can make the soup grainy.
