Question by Sue S: I am looking for a chicken gumbo soup recipe with rice and vegies – no okra or sausage.?
We had it in a local restaurant – the broth was reddish and it had carrots and celery, tomatoes, rice, maybe corn. Can you help?

Gumbo is from the African word for Okra.

Folklore has it that the Africans abducted to become slaves in American plantations smuggled okra seeds by hiding these seeds inside their braids.

Can’t understand how anyone can call a soup Gumbo when it contains no okra.

    I would make a roux (3 T. oil & 3 T. flour, browned to a caramel color) remove from heat, add chopped onion,celery, & bell pepper ( In New Orleans, they call this The Blessed Trinity) = )
    Stir until cooled down; do not brown. Put this in a large pot. Add salt &pepper & 1 can or more chicken broth plus 4 cups water. Boil until roux is dissolved, constantly sraping bottom of pot. Stir in 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Drop in the raw chicken pieces. Bring back to boil & add 1 can each stewed tomatoes, sliced carrots, & corn. Bring back to boil. Cover, cook on simmer 10 minutes, then uncover & simmer until chicken is done & soup is the desired thickness & taste.

    Turn heat off, and, if desired, stir in 1 teasp.
    File’. (0ptional)

    Cook the rice seperately. Serve a couple of scoops in bowls of the gumbo. Let the good times roll…
