Chicken Gumbo Soup image

I loved Campbell's Chicken Gumbo soup as a child. I never new what those round green things with seeds in them were that were floating around in the soup until I was grown and moved to the south. I discovered okra and decided to duplicate the canned soup. Outstanding if I do say so myself and a nice change from Homemade...

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 whole chicken, rinsed
water to cover
1 onion cut in quarters, you can leave the skin on
2 carrots, broken in pieces, no need to peel
3 celery stalks, broken, leave leaves on
2 Tbsp peppercorns, whole black
1 bay leaf
SOUP INGREDIENTS
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 c celery, diced
2 qt strained chicken broth
2 c fresh or frozen sliced okra
1 qt tomatoes, i prefer home canned
1 c rice
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1-2 Tbsp chicken base

Steps:

  • 1. In a large stockpot place chicken, vegetables, water to cover and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil and reduce to low simmer and cook until chicken is done.
  • 2. Remove chicken to cool. Strain broth and set aside. Discard vegetables. (my dog loves these added to his dog food)
  • 3. SOUP: Place broth in large stockpot, add onion, bell pepper, rice, tomatoes and simmer until almost done. Add okra and cook 10 minutes longer. Taste broth if you need a bit more chicken flavor add 1-2 tablespoons chicken base (I buy at Sam's) Adjust seasoning. Chicken base can be a bit salty so don't add any more salt until you have tasted broth.

This soup is a little spicy for my taste, but I just added a little less cayenne pepper.
