Creating Cajun Potato Soup is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to bring this hearty soup to life:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Dice all your vegetables and potatoes, ensuring they are cut into even pieces for consistent cooking.
2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion, garlic, green bell pepper, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
4. Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes and then pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Increase the heat to high until it begins to boil.
5. Season the Soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
6. Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
7. Mash or Blend: For a creamier texture, use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes. Alternatively, you could blend a portion of the soup using an immersion blender.
8. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream (or milk) and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Let it heat through for another 5 minutes.
9. Serve Hot: Once heated thoroughly, your soup is ready to serve!
