Being born and raised in Utah, I don’t think I have ever had a real bowl of authentic southern gumbo. However, I have heard that it’s fantastic!
And since it’s so loaded with vegetables, it really is good for you! It fills you up and keeps you going all day long. And on a cold winter day, it’s good for warming you up too!
For those of you from down south, I am so sorry if this isn’t authentic gumbo, but whatever it is . . . it tastes dang good.
