I know most people will shy away from soup in the summertime, with 100 degree temperatures, but summertime is often when I enjoy making soup. They're usually quick, simple, and tasty. Perfect for a weeknight, summertime meal.
Dinner last night was jambalaya soup but I will be the first to admit it might have been less of a soup than the title suggests. It's quite possible the blame lies with me on that. I MIGHT have added an extra half a cup of rice because my husband can't get enough rice. The result was more of a thick stew rather than soup but the flavor was full on. My husband is a big fan of jambalaya but a lot of jambalayas have shrimp in them and he's allergic so he can't enjoy. When I found a recipe for a jambalaya soup a few years ago that didn't call for shrimp but only andouille sausage, I thought it was worth a try! I've made this a few times before and was always able to find chicken andouille sausage, which is what the recipe calls for. After searching high and low, I couldn't find the chicken andouille so I landed on just buying pork andouille and there was not a difference in flavor (though I am sure maybe a few more calories). I finished work around 5:30 last night and the soup was ready by 6:15 (it would have been ready even earlier but I was distracted by a phone call from Santa - long story for another time! LOL).
