| If you're trying to cut calories or keep kosher, there are some nice andouille chicken sausages out there. |
Heat oil in large saucepot or Dutch oven on medium
heat. Add celery, onion and bell pepper; cook and stir 3 minutes or until
vegetables are tender.

| Already so much flavor! |
Add garlic and oregano; cook and stir 1 minute.
Stir in water, rice mix, corn and sausage; bring to
boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges, if desired.

My Rating: 4/5 "Aw man. I missed that smell and that flavor. This packs a lot of punch for a little bowl of soup, and it's pretty filling, too. The rice from the mix didn't end up plumping out very much, which was kind of sad, but the overall texture of the thing was still quite nice. Get your Cajun fix!"
