Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil and Cajun Spices. Add chicken and coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (time permitting) as you prep the other ingredients. After 30 minutes, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, undisturbed for 2-4 minutes, or until nicely browned on one side. Turn chicken over, add ½ cup Cajun Broth, cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 6-8 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5-10 minutes before dicing into bite size pieces. Meanwhile, cook pasta al dente in generously salted water. Rinse and set aside. Melt butter in large stockpot over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions and cook until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add bell peppers and garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in remaining Cajun Broth and heavy cream. Bring soup to boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring frequently until thickened to desired consistency, approximately 3-5 minutes. Return chopped chicken to the pot along with peas, tomatoes, and cooked pasta. Simmer until heated through then stir in Parmesan until melted followed by lime juice and basil.* Taste and add additional salt, pepper cayenne/hot sauce to taste. Garnish individual bowls with fresh lime juice and bacon (optional). *For a less "chunky" soup, simply add more chicken broth and/or heavy cream.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you can, use organic chicken and vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be watery. Add the ingredients in batches if necessary.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings until the soup is flavorful. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for a little extra tang.
