Pour in 1 1/4 cups of vegetable broth, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for later.

Uncover the pan and stir in the drained red kidney beans and corn kernels.

Pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of vegetable broth to keep the jambalaya moist.

Cover the pan again and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the rice is soft and cooked through.
