Slow cooker jambalaya soup offers big flavor with minimal work. Make it in the morning for an easy, set it and forget it dinner any night of the week.

I love a good dump and go dinner.

Who needs to add lots of fuss and complication to making meals when you can literally just through ingredients in a slow cooker, turn it on and then walk away all day?

Not me!

This jambalaya is magic like that.

You just dump everything in the good ole crockpot and walk away, letting it slowly fill your house with delicious aromas all day.

All you have to do then at dinner time, is make some rice and serve this soup and you are good to go!

Ingredients

  • Kielbasa sausage – In a pinch, you could use a mild smoked sausage.
  • Rotisserie chicken – You could also use left over baked or boiled chicken.
  • Veggies – For the soup, I use diced, canned tomatoes (NOT DRAINED), white onion, green bell pepper, and celery. If you have yellow or red onion, you could use those instead of the white one.
  • Chicken broth – You could use regular or low sodium for the soup.
  • Seasonings – You’ll need dried oregano, creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, ground thyme, garlic powder, and cracked black pepper (to taste).
  • Jasmine rice – If you don’t have jasmine, you can use another white rice.

How to make

Here’s how to make this delicious soup.

Add all of the ingredients, EXCEPT the rice to the bowl of your slow cooker.

Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 7 to 8 hours.

If you like, you can set it on high and cook for 3 to 4 hours.

When it has finished cooking, add some rice to each bowl and ladle the soup into each bowl.

Enjoy!

Storing and serving

To store, you can ladle or pour the soup into an airtight container and place in the fridge for 5 to 6 days.

Store any left over rice in a separate container.

If you want, you can freeze the soup for up to 6 months in a freezer safe container.

Tips and tricks

Here are some tips for making this soup.

  • Don’t add the rice to the slow cooker. It will turn to mush!
  • Don’t add rice to the slow cooker after the soup’s cooked because any leftovers you want to store will get nasty because the rice will absorb the moisture and mushy.
  • Store the soup and rice separately. If needed, make more rice when serving left overs.
  • This soup freezes well so you can save it for later.
  • Chop all the veggies the night before, store them in the fridge, and set the soup up before going to work for an easy weeknight dinner!

    Could you cook raw chicken in the soup instead of rotisserie chicken?

      Yes! Add them with all the other ingredients to the slow cooker. When done, remove them with tongs, shred the meat, and then stir it back into the soup.

    Hi, how big of a crockpot/ slow cooker does this recipe use? I just was wondering if I should do more or less than the recipe.
    Thank you <3

      I use a 6 quart when I make this, and it fills it up a little over half way.
