From the grocery store

12 to 14 oz smoked sausage (kielbasa is fine, andouille is showing off). Any store, on the way home. Not in the cart button; we do not sell sausage.

From your kitchen

a big pot with a lid, a knife, a can opener.

What to do

1. Slice the sausage into coins. Brown them in the pot with the Cajun seasoning, 4 minutes.
2. Add the box, the tomatoes, and broth where the box says water - same amount, read the box.
3. Boil, lid on, low, 25 minutes. Do not lift the lid. Yes, you want to. No.
4. Off the heat, 5 minutes, fluff. Frank's. Done.
