Making Cajun Potato Soup can be straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Sausage: Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened, approximately 3 minutes.
4. Combine Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir well to mix with the other ingredients.
5. Pour in Broth: Carefully pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
6. Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
7. Mash Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, use a potato masher or fork to mash some of them for a thicker consistency, while leaving others intact for texture.
8. Add Cream and Seasoning: Pour in the heavy cream and add the Cajun seasoning. Stir to combine thoroughly.
9. Season to Taste: Adjust the soup’s flavor with salt and pepper, if desired.
10. Finish Cooking: Let the soup simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to meld the flavors.
11. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added flavor and a pop of color.

These steps will guide you in creating a dish that is both incredible and full of comforting flavors.
