Gumbo Soup Recipe

Cut up two chickens, two slices of ham, and two onions into

dice; flour them, and fry the whole to a light brown; then fill the

frying pan with boiling water; stir it a few minutes, and turn the whole

into a saucepan containing three quarts of boiling water. Let it boil

for forty minutes, removing the scum.



In the meantime soak three pints of ochra in cold water for twenty

minutes; cut them into thin slices, and add to the other ingredients;

let it boil for one hour and a half. Add a quart of canned tomatoes and

a cupful of boiled rice half an hour before serving.
