Ingredients:
| 12
| cup | Water | | 6
| tsp | Vegetable Bouillon granules | | 4
| | Tomatoes, fresh or 1-lb can | | 1/2
| cup | Corn, fresh or canned | | 1
| | Celery rib, diced | | 1
| | Onion, diced | | 1/2
| cup | Okra, cut | | 1/4
| cup | Rice, white or brown | | 1/8
| tsp | Tabasco Sauce (optional) | | 1
| cup | Shredded cabbage (optional) |
|
Procedures:
| 1 | Directions: place all ingredients in a large pot, bring to boil, cover and simmer about 20 minutes until all vegetables are done. | | 2 | 1-l/2 c serving equals about 35 calories. | | 3 | Note: i use uncle ben"s converted rice as it seems to hold its shape better in long cooking periods. | | 4 | Any rice will work if this soup is not reheated several times, but it usually is! this is a thin soup, i sometimes add shredded cabbage, chard, bok choy, or other green vegetable to it. | | 5 | The greens make it thicker and more filling, but add few calories. | | 6 | This doesn"t resemble the real cajun gumbo, but is good for those days when you feel you"ve over-indulged and need to cut back. | | 7 | I keep in it the fridge and use it as a snack when i just have to have something else. | | 8 | You can also add herbs, hot pepper, it is very versatile, and a good starting recipe. | | 9 | Original, from files of a. | | 10 | Broaddus/houston 5/16/9 |
