This is a tradition here in the South. Add anything you like to this basic recipe!

In a Dutch oven or sizable pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat.

Sausage is added and cooked for 2 minutes.

Add the celery, onion, bell pepper, and salt; sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.

Cook and stir the vegetables for 6 to 8 minutes, or until they are soft.

Pour the tomatoes with juice, garlic, chicken broth, bay leaves, and thyme leaves after stirring the rice until it is thoroughly coated in the vegetable mixture.

Over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer.

Next, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer for 20 minutes.
