Instructions

Step 1

Add ingredients as you're chopping them, just throw them all into a preheating pot. End with the sausage so you're not chopping veggies on top of pieces of meat.

Step 2

Add liquid, bouillon, spices.

Step 3

Give it all a good stir and put the lid on, turning the temp down to a slow boil.

Step 4

Let it cook for about an hour, till all the vegetables are pretty fallen apart and all the flavors are meshed. During this time cook your rice and it can be done and cooling while this all finishes.
