LOW-FAT GUMBO
This is my rendition of gumbo, but without the rue. I and my very manly guy friends still absolutely loved it though. It's very healthy and satisfying. This batch made enough to last me for a week's worth of lunches. With most of the ingredients (mainly veggies) you can add and subtract to your liking.
