Chicken & Sausage Gumbo

Last year, my organization held their annual conference in New Orleans, LA.  It was a fantastic trip where to a city I've never been to. 

I went to Bourbon Street to Pat O'Briens, and had an original Hurricane drink. 

I went to Cafe Dumond and had their famous beignets which I still dream about from time to time - and I crave their chickory coffee constantly!

But my absolute favorite thing about New Orleans was chicken and sausage gumbo.  Anytime I saw it on a menu, I had to order it.  I ate a lot of gumbo.  The unfortunate thing is that I'm not much of a cook (I refer to myself as a "baker" instead).  I thought my gumbo days were over.  And then, I came across Campbell's Chicken & Sausage Gumbo - a fabulous 2 minute substitute for what I'm incapable of accomplishing with my tender cooking skills.  Warning, it does have a bit of a kick to it.  Every time I have a bowl (like today for instance) I'm taken back to New Orleans - without the humidity.  Yum!
