Chicken Gumbo Soup Recipe

INGREDIENTS

4.00 c Chicken Soup Stock
(try vegetarian chicken)
8.00 c Water
2.00 c Tomatoes,fresh or canned
0.50 c Corn, cooked
1.00 c Okra, cut
0.50 ts Salt, optional
0.25 c Onion, diced
0.25 c Rice, uncooked

OPTIONAL

2.00 c Shredded cabbage, or
Yellow Squash, or
Zucchini, or
Asparagus, or
Chinese Napa cabbage, or
Bok Choy, or
French Green Beans, or
Combination of above

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.
