My parents are on their way down to visit me today! I am So excited to see them and their NEW PUPPY! So- since my family is ALL about food I am making a special dinner. Last weekend Jimmy and I went to a Sunday school social and right beside the bar was this wonderful soup. When I asked for the recipe I did not get any amounts but here is what I put in:
Spicy Gumbo-like soup that is really yummy and will clear your sinuses
a few chicken breasts cut into cubes
hot sausage- about a pound
about a pound of smallish shrimp
a large can of diced tomatoes plus a regular can of diced tomatoes
about 2 cups of rice
chicken broth
Cayenne pepper- allot
cilantro
OK- cut the chicken up and cook it in a large soup pot with the sausage til meat is cooked
add the chicken broth- you will need a good bit- I used 6 small cans and then added some water and then added a bit more stock- the rice sucks up a bit
add tomatoes
bring to a boil
add the rice- bring back to boil and then cover and simmer for the rice to do its thing
(add the cayenne pepper at stages along the way- keep tasting as you go to get the level you like)
add the shrimp- I used peeled and pre-cooked small shrimp so I added them later so they wouldn't get mushy- go with your gut
after about a half hour add the cilantro (earlier if its dried- later if it's fresh)
it's done when your ready- I think! :-)
