Your soup sounds really good.... cept for the chicken stock. I'm having some gumbo before I leave for work. MMMmmm.... with tabasco!
You will make gumbo at the next Entmoot. I worked with a guy who was from Louisiana, albeit indirectly (he was a military brat, so his folks were from there and I think he partially grew up there). He made REALLLLLLY good gumbo. Vey hot, though...he usually made two batches, one for them that liked the super hot stuff and one fairly mild batch. I mixed 'em. I like to taste what I'm eating, but do like some heat.
Did I mention it was gooooood?

I would have used beef broth if I'd had it. All I had was chicken. :)
