Creating Cajun Potato Soup is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes).
3. Cook Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
4. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes are submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
6. Blend for Creaminess: Once the potatoes are cooked, you can use an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a countertop blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier soup, blend only half of the mixture.
7. Add Cream: Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender) and stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently until warmed through.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste your soup and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or Cajun seasoning to suit your preference.
9. Serve: Ladle hot soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

By following these steps, you’ll create a velvety and flavorful Cajun Potato Soup that is sure to delight anyone who tastes it!
