Vegetable Gumbo Soup

 

depending on where you live, fresh okra can be hard to

find. i can usually find it in the frozen veggie

section at the grocery store. for this soup, i like

to add some chopped celery in when i saute the onion.

i serve this soup over rice and pass the Tabasco sauce

at the table.
