Cajun Chicken and Sausage Soup

A hearty, flavorful soup with Cajun spices, chicken, andouille sausage, and vegetables, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs
  • 13.5 oz andouille sausage, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning (such as Tony's)
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1/2 white onion, diced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 45 cups chicken stock
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • Coarse salt, to taste
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for garnish
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (1 cup uncooked), for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, sliced celery, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add chicken thighs and sliced andouille sausage to the pot. Stir to combine and let cook for a few minutes to brown slightly.
  4. Pour in diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra smokiness, use smoked andouille sausage. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to suit your heat preference. Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
