Ingredients

Chicken Breast & Shrimp – These two sources of protein are added in this hearty soup, to make it filling and nutritious. Add the cleaned shrimps and bite-sized pieces of chicken into the soup.

Andouille Sausage – These sausages add a distinct taste and texture to the soup, as it is more chunky due to the chopped pork. You can add any sausage of your choice.

Vegetables – I like to add bell pepper, celery, jalapeño in this soup. I love the spicy kick Jalapeno adds. You can add more veggies of your choice to make it even more filling. Crushed Tomatoes are also used, which adds a tangy-sweet taste and makes the base.

White Rice – This Soup has white rice in it, which adds to the carbs and keeps you full for longer.

Cajun Seasoning – It adds smoky, garlicky and peppery to the soup, which makes it even more delicious.

Chicken Stock – Chicken Stock is added to make the base of the soup, it adds to the taste too. You can even use vegetable stock or even water if Chicken Stock is not available.

All-Purpose Flour – Flour is used to thicken the soup. If you do not want the thick consistency, you can skip adding it too. Skipping the flour will also make this soup gluten-free.

Other Ingredients – Apart from the other ingredients, you will also need onion, garlic, bay leaves, salt and pepper.

You can also top this soup with crispy bacon and parsley, while serving it.
