Awesome! I used this recipe to make gumbo for my daughter's cultural celebration they had. It was a hit...I sampled it the night before and almost ended up eating the entire thing. The parents in the class polished it off. Delicious!
1/7/2011 01:31:19 PM Report AbuseDefinitely a short-cut faux-gumbo as written. Use the broth you cooked your chicken in - and NO green beans. Understand there are as many gumbo recipes as spaghetti sauce, meat loaf, vegetable soup, and everyone's thinks theirs is the best. BUT if you want traditional flavor, get out the N'Orleans cookbooks, search out the ingredients, read the reviews of others, and come a little closer to real gumbo ...

2/16/2010 10:22:34 AM Report AbuseWHERE DID YOU GET THIS RECIPE? YOU DON'T PUT "BEEF BROTH" "GREEN BEANS" OR "RED PEPPERS" IN GUMBO. THIS IS VEGETABLE SOUP AND NOT GUMBO. GET A RECIPE FROM SOUTH LOUISIANA AND FORGET THIS ONE.
