Awesome recipe but I had to improvise a little due to lack of some ingredients. I had some skinless boneless chicken breasts in the fridge that needed cooking. So I brushed them with some olive oil and season with salt, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Cook them up and chopped them for the soup. I also used no sodium chicken broth and low sodium vegetable broth. I used some home canned tomatoes and used 1.89 Litres of low sodium V8 as this was the size of the bottle and don't drink it normally. I added some hot pepper from the garden, salt and pepper to taste. I also added some hot Italian sausage to make it more like a true gumbo. My family doesn't normally like tomato based soups but loved this one. A definite keeper. Thanks!
