St. Charles Street Gumbo

Tired of turkey yet? Well, here is a recipe far beyond the turkey and cranberry.

Its getting cold her in the Carolinas so Its time to start making soups and chilies. The other night I made one of our favorite...Gumbo.

This is a recipe giving by my late Mother-in-Law. Its simple and delicious. Best of all, it does not call for any fancy stuff, just basic foods you probably already have nearby.

 

St. Charles Street Gumbo

 

1 Tbsp.- Olive Oil

2- small onions (or one large)

1 lbs.- sliced okra (frozen works fine)

1 cup- chopped celery

1 Tbsp.- minced garlic

1 1/2 lbs.- chopped Skinless Sausage

48 oz.- Chicken broth (3 cans)

Dash- of Tabasco sauce ( I like more)

3 pinches- Cajun seasoning

2 pinches- Parsley flakes

1- large can petite diced tomatoes

1-10 oz. can chuck white chicken (drained)

In a large sauce pan or skillet, heat olive oil over med-high heat. Add onions, okra, celery and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in garlic, Cajun seasoning, parsley, and sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Add chicken broth, tabasco and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and add chicken.

Cook 4-5 minutes or longer until chicken is heated through.

Serve over rice and add more tabasco if you desire.

Refrigerate left overs.

1 cup gumbo with 1 cup rice = approx. 200 calories. (per "myfitnesspal" app)
