My new favorite meal! Wait til you smell it cooking. YUM. It is easily halved & a half recipe makes about 8 cups soup. Each cup is 8 Weight Watchers Points LOL. One time, we substituted the andouille with smoked sausage, just to make it more appealing to the kids (they don't like anything spicy), but it's just not the same. LOVE THIS RECIPE!

absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Made this for first time tonight and was told many times that it was BETTER than Olive Garden's! I used regular ol Jimmy Dean sausage, added ceyenne pepper, used all milk no heavy cream and thickened it a little with cornstarch. You definately dont NEED the butter & olive oil, the grease from the sausage is plenty! Thank you for sharing such a great recipe!! It was also very simple to make.

This soup was yummy, but I did make a few changes. I used 1 pound andouille sausage and 1 pound of mild italian sausage. I would have used hot, but was afraid it would be too spicy for my 3 young children. I also add half a pound of fried bacon. I wasn't crazy about how thin the soup was so made a rue and added it to help thicking up the soup, more like a chowder. I did omit the spinach because my kids wouldn't have touched the soup with it in. It was great! next time, I will probably make 1/2 the recipe in a seperate dish for hubby and I and add the spinach! I will definitely make this again.

This soup is really easy and tasty. I usually use kale instead of spinach because I think it holds up better when packing left overs. I also add a little bit of cajun seasoning. It has to be really good since this is one of the few dishes I make that my husband will eat!

I made it just the way the recipe is written and it is perfect! This is now on the regular dinner rotation with some Texas toast.

It was very good. I wouldn't call it a cajun soup, and changed it up with 1 pound of sausage and 1 pound of bacon - YUMM

Absolutely loved this recipe, but made with kielbasa instead, as that is what I had on hand. Had to make it again a few days later for a friend who insisted I give her the recipe. Want to try with the andouille sausage next time.
