New Orleans Jambalaya

This is a fairly traditional, New Orleans jambalaya recipe.  I got the original recipe from my brother in law and I’ve tweaked it slightly.  It’s super easy and delicious!  And much better than the store bought variety.

Ingredients:

2 cups converted white rice (must use converted)

16 fl oz onion soup
