This soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less Cajun seasoning if you don't like spicy food.

I made this soup last night and it was a hit with my family. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was cooked perfectly. The soup was also very flavorful, thanks to the Cajun seasoning.
