As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." | | ~ Ginette Olivesi-Lorenzias |

Chicken Gumbo Soup Recipe
Recipe Ingredients:
INGREDIENTS
4 cup Chicken Soup Stock (try vegetarian chicken) 8 cup Water 2 cup Tomatoes,fresh or canned 1/2 cup Corn, cooked 1 cup Okra, cut 1/2 tsp Salt, optional 1/4 cup Onion, diced 1/4 cup Rice, uncooked
OPTIONAL
2 cup Shredded cabbage, or Yellow Squash, or Zucchini, or Asparagus, or Chinese Napa cabbage, or Bok Choy, or French Green Beans, or Combination of above
Recipe Instructions:
Method: Place 4 C of chicken soup stock and 8 C of water in a soup kettle. Bring to a boil. While it is boiling vigorously, add the rice slowly, about few grains at a time. Then add the remaining ingredients and simmer covered until the vegetables are tender. For a smaller recipe of 7 cups, use one-half of the above amounts. A full cup is 25 calories.
DIABETIC EXCHANGE = 1 Vegetable
Add 1 C peeled shrimp or 1 C shredded chicken breast to make it a little heartier while adding few calories. (About 35 cal with addition of other vegetables)
DIABETIC EXCHANGE = 1 Vegetable and meat exchange, as used.
I have used this recipe since 1961. It is light, but filling, and has few calories, but is very nutritious with the cruciferous vegetables added. It is good for a soup and sandwich combination, excellent for a snack anytime.
