Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and chicken and sauté until lightly browned (approx. 3-4 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, celery and green onions and sauté until the onions are translucent (approx. 4-5 minutes).
- Add the garlic, creole/cajun seasoning, oregano and thyme and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. OPTIONAL: For a less "greasy" final broth, add 2 Tbsp of flour with the garlic and spices.
- Add the chicken broth, rice, tomatoes and bay leaf, stirring to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the rice is tender, approx. 15 minutes. Continue to stir, occasionally, so the rice doesn't burn.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 5 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through out (the shrimp will be pink and shaped like the letter "C" when cooked).
- Taste and add extra salt or creole seasoning, to your preferred level. Fish out the dried bay leaves.
- Transfer to individual bowls and enjoy immediately.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a combination of shrimp and sausage that you enjoy. Shrimp with a mild flavor, such as pink shrimp or white shrimp, pairs well with a more flavorful sausage, such as kielbasa or chorizo. If you prefer a more delicate flavor, use a mild sausage, such as Portuguese sausage or linguiça.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in Portuguese cuisine, and it adds a lot of flavor to this soup. Choose a flavorful extra-virgin olive oil that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't be afraid to add some heat. This soup is traditionally made with a bit of a kick, so don't be afraid to add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste. If you prefer a milder soup, you can omit the pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
- Add some crusty bread or rice to serve. This soup is delicious served with a side of crusty bread or rice. The bread or rice will help to soak up the flavorful broth.
Conclusion:
Portuguese shrimp and sausage soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
