New Orleans Gumbo image

I've been making this New Orleans gumbo for at least 30 years. I'm originally from New Orleans, and I think it's a nice taste of the Vieux Carre (French Quarter). Everyone who tastes this gumbo wants the recipe. It's an old standby for my family, who requests it frequently. -Dolores M. Bridges, Danville, Kentucky
