Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz kielbasa sausage thinly sliced into coins
  • 3-3 1/2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken
  • 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes DO NOT DRAIN
  • 1 large white onion diced
  • 2 green bell peppers seeded & chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced celery
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 tsp creole seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground thyme
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • cracked black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups jasmine rice cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients, EXCEPT the rice to the bowl of your slow cooker.
  • Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Once done, add some rice to a soup bowl and ladle the soup out over top.
  • Repeat for all servings.

Notes

  • 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!
