Slow Cooker Pumpkin Jambalaya Stuffed Shells

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Campbell Soup Company. All opinions are 100% mine.

Stuffed pasta shells with a delicious Cajun twist are easy to make and full of bold comforting flavors.

Both kiddos are big soup and pasta lovers so when Campbell’s asked me to come up with a recipe using their new Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style Andouille Sausage Jambalaya Soup with Chicken and Ham, I came up with these Slow Cooker Pumpkin Jambalaya Stuffed Shells.

I am a big fan of Jambalaya and craved for it often when I was pregnant with my youngest.

This soup has the same great taste and I loved  how hearty it is.  There are big chunks of sausage along with plenty of diced tomatoes, celery, onions, and tender rice throughout.

I scooped out the ingredients and combined it with some roasted butternut squash, cooked rice and tiny shrimp to use as the filling.

Everything was tossed into my slow cooker but you could easily bake these in the oven as well.

It made the most delicious dinner and my family loved the bold and spicy flavors!

I normally wouldn’t make a meal like this on a weekday but with the help of Campbell’s Slow Kettle soup it made everything so much easier even for those busiest nights!

Available in new delicious varieties like Andouille Sausage Jambalaya Soup with Chicken & Ham Soup (shown here), as well as Slow Kettle Santa Fe Style Chicken Enchilada Soup with White Meat Chicken, there is something for everyone!

I love that these Campbell’s soups are made “with patience, not preservatives” and that they use real ingredients that are a cut above (like angus beef, fresh cream, Andouille sausage, Portobello mushrooms, asiago cheese, & Madeira wine).

So why not change up your dinner routine next time using some soup?
