Provided by Chef Mary Nolan

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely diced, (1 1/2 cups)
1 medium green bell pepper, finely diced, (1 1/4 cups)
3 ribs celery, finely diced, (1 1/4 cups)
1 small jalapeño pepper, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons The Spice Hunter Cajun Creole Seasoning Blend
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (8oz) can tomato sauce
1 (15.5oz) can small red beans, drained and rinsed
1 (32oz) box chicken broth, low-sodium
1/2 cup white rice
1 bay leaf
4 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a large pot. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, jalapeño, and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and onion is translucent, about 20 minutes.
  • Add chicken, The Spice Hunter Cajun Creole Seasoning Blend, and salt and increase heat to medium-high. Stir and cook until chicken begins to look opaque, about 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce, red beans, chicken broth, rice and bay leaf and bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stir frequently so that rice doesn't stick to the bottom and cook uncovered 20 minutes, until rice is softened. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce and check seasoning, adding more salt if desired. Remove bay leaf, ladle into bowls, and top with black pepper (soup with continue to thicken as it sits).

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different types of beans have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will add depth and complexity to your soup.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. If you don't have time to make your own, use a low-sodium store-bought stock.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and texture to your soup. Be sure to include a variety of vegetables, such as onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Season your soup well: Cajun-style soup is typically well-seasoned with spices such as paprika, garlic, thyme, and cayenne pepper. Season your soup to taste, and don't be afraid to add more spices if you like it spicy.
  • Serve with rice: Red bean and rice soup is traditionally served with rice. You can use white rice, brown rice, or even wild rice.

Conclusion:

Cajun-style red bean and rice soup is a delicious, hearty, and easy-to-make soup. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its flavorful broth, tender beans, and variety of vegetables, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
