INSTRUCTIONS

Directions: Place all ingredients in a large pot, bring to boil,  cover
and simmer about 20 minutes until all vegetables are done.  1-l/2 C
serving equals about 35 calories.  NOTE:  I use Uncle Ben's Converted
Rice as it seems to hold its shape  better in long cooking periods.
Any rice will work if this soup is  not reheated several times, but it
usually is!  This is a thin soup, I sometimes add shredded cabbage,
chard, bok  choy, or other green vegetable to it.  The greens make it
thicker and  more filling, but add few calories. This doesn't resemble
the real  Cajun Gumbo, but is good for those days when you feel you've
over-indulged and need to cut back.  I keep in it the fridge and use
it as a snack when I just have to have something else. You can also
add herbs, hot pepper, it is very versatile, and a good starting
recipe. Original, from Files of A. Broaddus/Houston 5/16/93  From

A Message from our Provider:

“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
