Hi folks,
Today I made this soup and it was so good I thought I would post it here.
prep time 15 minutes Ready in 2 hours and 15 min.
cook time 2 hours
Okra,shrimp and a variety of sauteed vegetables are used to create a thick stew,even without the dark roux found in traditional gumbo recipes.
Ingredients
2 pounds medium shrimp-peeled and deveined 1 tomato chopped-I used a can hunts diced tomatoes-small can
salt and pepper to taste 1 cup chopped onion
cayenne pepper to taste 4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup olive oil( I used much less) 1/2 cup chopped celery
2 pounds chopped/ sliced okra 1/2 cup green bell pepper chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste. 12 cups water
