  2. Vegetables – Cook onions, celery, and bell pepper. Add garlic.

    3. To the same pot over medium heat, add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

  3. Soup – Add Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, chicken broth, and potatoes. Simmer.

    4. To the pot, add Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, chicken broth, and potatoes. Reduce heat. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  4. Return sausage to pot. Add cream and cheese. Simmer.

    5. Return the sausage to the pot and add in heavy cream and shredded cheese. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted.

  5. Serve garnished with parsley.

    6. Garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
