STEPS

1

Add andouille sausage to a dry soup pot over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the sausage begins to brown, a few minutes.

2

If needed, add olive oil to adjust the amount of fat and then add onions, green pepper, celery, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes.

3

Add paprika, cumin, black pepper, thyme, and oregano. Cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes.

4

Stir in the broth, raise the heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and stir in chicken, ham, and okra.

5

Cook for 10 minutes and then stir in lentils. Simmer the soup, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender, about 1 hour.

6

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, parsley, and green onions. Cook for another few minutes and season to taste with salt.

7

Serve hot with rice, more green onions, and a shake of cayenne pepper if desired.
