On Alton Brown's "Good Eats" episode Bowl O' Bayou, he offered this expertise:

"Now, no good gumbo is complete without a hearty sausage. Traditionally, of course, a Cajun sausage would be used. Some folks like a boudin, which is a sausage stuffed with seasoned pork and rice. But I'm a purist and that means andouille."

So, if Alton is to be trusted, there are some folks out there who like boudin in gumbo.

Have you ever met one?

I'd give it a shot with subbing rice for boudin (no casing) in a gumbo. I've seen people do it with jambalaya.

Ok. So we just ate the soup.

I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it turned out. I was expecting a disaster.

It was definitely more creamy than our typical 15 bean soup, but it wasn't porridge thick.

We used a base of chicken and beef stock, a 15 bean soup pack, one sweet onion, basil and 4 boudin links.

We seasoned it with salt, pepper, a little Tony's for some spice. Simple really.

I like where the creative frick-it part of your head is at. That looks damn fine on a cold evening.

That actually looks really good.

I would still throw in some Andouille though.

You could also toss it in at the last 30 minutes or so if you wanted it more of a broth soup.

I stuff it in green bell peppers and bake.

We had the leftovers for supper last night.

I was anticipating the rice to be complete mush, but it actually tasted better this time.
