    Although not a true gumbo, this is a healthy/hearty dish that I will be trying out. Would be great for those cold wintry nights in Chicago... Thanks for the recipe.. - 7/25/08

    More of a soup than a gumbo, but this is perfect paired with brown rice. Yummy! Thanks for the great recipe! - 6/5/08
