For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce along with the Cajun seasoning. Feel free to substitute andouille sausage for the smoked sausage for a more authentic Cajun flavor. If you don't have beef broth, you can substitute it with vegetable broth or more chicken broth. For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken and sausage before adding them to the pot. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
