Easy Jambalaya Soup made quickly and conveniently using Progresso Chicken and Wild Rice Soup as a base!
You aren’t ready for how I am going to blow your mind with this insanely incredible recipe for jambalaya. In fact check out my video below to see how amazing this is!!
If you know anything about New Orleans cooking, you know that it is a true labor of love with labor being the operative word here. It requires a true building of flavors and patience unlike any other. Development of flavors in creole cooking is what makes it so special.
Well before you start yelling at me or calling this recipe blasphemy, hear me out peeps! Sometimes you want the feel and love of New Orleans cooking without the work. That’s where my Easy Jambalaya Soup comes in. It starts with Progresso Chicken and Wild Rice soup but you would never know it by the way I completely transform it.
I basically jazzed this soup up with classic cajun flavors like andouille sausage, the holy trinity (green pepper, onion and celery), cajun spice and so much more. The end results were better than you can believe. I tested it on my husband and my friend and producer Sarah and they were totally in love. They could not believe that soup could be hooked up this way.
Got a busy night coming up? This is the recipe you desperately need to try.

I just made this for lunch and it is delicious and only took 20 minutes. Thanks for this great recipe.
Jocelyn!!! This was so easy and delicious. I added shrimp as well. Thank you for sharing…..you are the TRUTH!
Can this be made ahead and frozen?
Sure it can!
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!
Absolutely! This is a much easier option indeed.
I grew up in New Orleans and jambalaya has always been a favorite meal of mine. I love how simple your recipe is!
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!
