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:
- Choose the right pasta. Short pastas, like penne or macaroni, work best in this soup because they cook quickly and evenly. Avoid long pastas, like spaghetti or linguine, as they can become overcooked and mushy.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will become tough and dry.
- Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a broth that has a lot of flavor. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good options.
- Add vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to the soup. Any vegetables can be used, but some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and spinach.
- Season to taste. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. A bay leaf or two can also add a nice flavor.
- Serve with a garnish. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives adds a nice finishing touch to the soup.
