I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken in this recipe. It turned out great and I will definitely be making it again.

This gumbo was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

I'm not a fan of okra, but I still enjoyed this gumbo. The okra was cooked perfectly and it didn't have any of the slimy texture that I usually associate with it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gumbo turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more cayenne pepper for some extra heat.
