Grandpa’s Potato, Shrimp, Ham, and Sausage Soup Chef John Folse

Historically, Cajuns cured their own ham in smokehouses. Even when there was little else to eat, the smokehouse would always have some trimmings left from a boucherie. Potatoes, found in abundance year round, were a hearty addition to any soup.
