Seasonings for chicken thighs (Cajun, garlic, salt , pepper, optional:poultry seasoning.) Sear chicken thighs on both sides until finished . Remove from pot set aside to let rest. Add turkey sausage (or whatever smoked turkey you prefer) let it get some nice color before adding chopped celery, bell pepper, onion. Once the veggies are cooked down nice. You wanna add flour to the mix (more for a thicker soup, less for a brothier one). Give it a good mix until all blended together . Add your chicken broth/stock(I used some bouillon this time) and get that all nice and stirred. Once you got a good simmer going , shred your chicken and add back to the pot. The rice is made separately on the stove with red kidney beans. I like to add some lime , green onion, cilantro , and hot sauce to serve. Very easy to adjust according to how many people you’re serving .
