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.

| “This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” | | ~ Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |
