Chicken Gumbo soup

[Betty Hiner]

OMG!!! If you haven't tried this recipe, you owe it to yourself and family, to cook up a batch!! The smells that waifed throught this house were absolutely painful!! I had planned on letting it simmer slowly for the majority of the afternoon, but wound up eating supper much earlier than usual, cuz we just couldn't wait. The only thing I can think of that would be better than the smell of this soup would be home baked bread with the soup!

One word of caution...don't plan on serving 8 with this recipe, unless you make two batches!

Thanks LF!!!

Betty,
It's gonna be a week or two, but you're right...I've got to cook up at least a double batch! Colleen & I were just talking about "soup season" & how we need more recipes.

Does this soup freeze well? I like to make big batches of soup on the weekends when I'm not working and save several meals for later. I have some fears that the okra might turn to mush when frozen.

Hey Rainbow Chaser,

We use frozen okra in several receipes. Have had no
problems to date. Birdseye sells frozen okra which
is pretty tasty.*G* Warm regards, Jim

Don't know from personal experience about freezing the soup. Had HOPED to have frozen some, but never made it that far! We just kept eating!

Next time I make it, I'll throw a loaf of home made bread in the oven too.

Mike,

Soup season. Yup, ... it's coming on strong here. Rain, rain and more rain. It seems as if once the rain becomes real snow, ... things dry out. Until then we're in "soup mode" too.

Try Lentil soup.

Ours is more lentils than soup, ... but it sure does keep off the chill

Beef broth
1 tomatoe diced
2 cloves garlic
1 onion diced
2 stalks celery diced
black pepper (lots)
1 scotch bonnet pepper (optional)
2 cups green lentils

Just dump it all together and simmer until the lentils are cooked.

Goes well with a brick of smoked salmon on bagels
