Notes

Zach: Personally, I love this soup cold - especially after it has been able to sit with all the delicious seasonings that are in the Chimichurri rice and veggies. This aspect of the soup makes it super flexible and amazing for small space cooking, you can eat it at any temperature and it stores very well!

Loving this Trader Joe’s gluten free soup…See what other people have had to say about this recipe…

Giuliana Nakashima –

I loved that it had so few ingredients. Often the best recipes are those that you can actually recognize several different spices. I did however, add a bit more protein sources since I needed to feed a hungry bunch on a cold and dreary night. I too added TJ Chicken Andouille Sausage as well, and some shredded chicken breast I had left over and a dash of file spice.

Marcus YOrk –

I’ve actually added TJ’s sliced Chicken Andouille Sausage instead of the shrimp and referred to it as a Peruvian Chicken Gumbo. I guess you can still add the shrimp as well, but you might have to tweek the other ingredients (more soup for sure)to get the right consistency.
