Ingredients

Ingredients for chicken and sausage jambalaya soup
  • Olive oil: Used to sauté and cook the sausage, chicken, and veggies.
  • Andouille sausage: A French smoked sausage made of pork that is usually gluten-free, and full of flavor and ،e.
  • Onion: I use a yellow onion as it’s a bit sweeter as it caramelizes.
  • Bell pepper: Any color pepper will do, red are the sweetest, but green bell peppers would add some more color.
  • Celery: Mild and crunchy, celery is also a nutritional power،use.
  • Garlic: Nutty, pungent, and aromatic it blends well with the vegetables to add flavor to the soup.
  • Chicken ،: A lean protein that cooks easily and pairs well with just about anything!
  • Chicken broth: Makes for a flavorful soup base, and cooking rice in chicken stock adds more flavor to each bite.
  • Okra: Mild and somewhat gr،y in flavor, it is full of fiber and other vitamins.
  • Cajun seasoning: Depending on the ،nd you use, the ingredients may vary, but usually consists of black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
  • Diced tomatoes: I like to use fire roasted diced tomatoes for an added depth of flavor, but any diced tomatoes will do.
  • White rice: Any long grain rice will do, or s،rt grain if that’s what you have.
