chicken gumbo soup
(1 rating)
I loved Campbell's Chicken Gumbo soup as a child. I never new what those round green things with seeds in them were that were floating around in the soup until I was grown and moved to the south. I discovered okra and decided to duplicate the canned soup. Outstanding if I do say so myself and a nice change from Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

How To Make chicken gumbo soup
-
1In a large stockpot place chicken, vegetables, water to cover and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil and reduce to low simmer and cook until chicken is done.
-
2Remove chicken to cool. Strain broth and set aside. Discard vegetables. (my dog loves these added to his dog food)
-
3SOUP: Place broth in large stockpot, add onion, bell pepper, rice, tomatoes and simmer until almost done. Add okra and cook 10 minutes longer. Taste broth if you need a bit more chicken flavor add 1-2 tablespoons chicken base (I buy at Sam's) Adjust seasoning. Chicken base can be a bit salty so don't add any more salt until you have tasted broth.
