Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 12 ounces Andouille sausage sliced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 rib celery diced
  • 2 cups diced cooked turkey
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes undrained
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Skillet
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Andouille sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. To the skillet, add the diced onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Once the sausage and vegetables are cooked, transfer them to your slow cooker.
  4. In the slow cooker, add the diced cooked turkey, Cajun seasoning, diced tomatoes (with their juice), garlic powder, chicken broth, and frozen corn. Stir everything together to combine.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute raw turkey; add it at the beginning for it to cook through.
  • You can replace Andouille sausage with any well-seasoned smoked sausage.
  • This soup can also be made on the stovetop; simmer for about 30-40 minutes.
