How to Make Jambalaya Soup

  • In medium sized pot, add chicken and wild rice soup and heat over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
  • In a saute pan, saute sausage pieces and holy trinity in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until sausage is done and onions are tender and browned a bit.
  • Pour sausage and trinity into soup pot and continue to cook.
  • Stir in tomato sauce and creole seasoning and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with parsley and hot sauce and serve.

How to Serve

For a quick and easy way to serve up this soup up for either dinner or even as an appetizer, you can add a few N’awlins recipes to really have a great meal.

How to Store

Stash your jambalaya soup in the fridge in a sealed container for up to four days, keeping all that Creole goodness on lockdown. When you’re ready to reignite the flavors, warm it gently in a pot over a medium flame until it’s piping hot. For a quick single serving, zap it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between to spread that warmth evenly

  1. This is awesome and a recipe I am definitely pinning. I made jambalaya one time and it required so much time to prepare and chop all of the ingredients I couldn’t justify making it again. With all the work I did it should have knocked my socks off. Thanks for sharing!

  2. I grew up in New Orleans and jambalaya has always been a favorite meal of mine. I love how simple your recipe is!

  3. Hi, Jocelyn:

    I just saw your Progressive Soups ad for Jambalaya on YouTube and came here to check out your website. I’m totally loving it!!! Let me sign up for the newsletter here before I head back to sub your YouTube channe!

    I have two really good Jambalaya recipes, but because it such a labor of love, they only get used on special occasions. But with your support quick Progress Soups recipe, I might just surprise everyone and make this tonight.

    I look forward to using quite a few of your recipes.

    Thanks so much!
