Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot or Dutch oven, bring water to a rolling boil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Season the boiling water with garlic powder and hot pepper sauce. (1 minute)

03

Step

Add the sliced carrots and mushrooms to the seasoned water. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Incorporate the sliced okra, wild rice, and cubed chicken into the simmering broth. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover, and gently simmer for 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (180 minutes)

06

Step

Add the rotini pasta to the gumbo and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Season the Chicken Gumbo Soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Serve hot, garnished generously with thinly sliced green onions.

For a richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water.
Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as celery, bell peppers, or diced tomatoes for added depth of flavor and nutrition.
For a thicker soup, you can stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop.

    I used brown rice instead of wild rice and it turned out great. I also added a little bit of andouille sausage for extra flavor.

  • Gretchen Kshlerin

    This is a great recipe for using up leftover chicken. I will definitely be making this again.

  • Brody Conn

    The spice level was perfect for me, but I might reduce it a bit next time for my kids.

    I was a little skeptical about the long simmer time, but it really made a difference. The broth was so rich and flavorful!

  • Edythe Hyatt

    I made this for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone asked for the recipe.

  • Eloise Muellergutkowski

    The only change I made was to add a bay leaf while simmering. It added a really nice depth of flavor.
