Cook's Notes

For best results, your slow cooker should be at least halfway but no more than two-thirds full when you start cooking. this will prevent overcooking and overflowing.

Haven't made it yet but wonder why there is no nutrition table listed with this since the reason for coming to this reipe was through an e-mail from Martha Stewart Living with the title of "Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes". Would be helpful. Thanks.

We really liked it. We spend time in Texas in the winter and it is a lot like a soup we get down there. Keep the recipes coming. Thanks

We love this recipe, have used it more than once for a weeknight special occasion dinner. We increase the andouille to a pound, go a little heavy on the fresh veggies and add in abut a tsp of our cajun seasoning blend.

Followed recipe exactly except substituted one tablespoon of cornstarch for the flour to make a gluten free meal. Turned out excellently, will definitely make again! Highly recommend!

Great recipe I used extra Kielbasa and doubled the amount of shrimp also decreased to about a third of the cayanne suggested. Cooked some rice to serve with it. My family loved it. I have 4 small children and the spices were mild enough that it was perfect. Even my husband who usualy likes things very spicy did not add any extra ........it was so good and super easy.

Couldn't be easier! I added a few more spices for more taste, but loved it.
