I like to add crabmeat to this hearty soup as well. Serve over rice with crusty French bread. Garnish with fresh parsley.

I found the okra to be a bit slimy. I think I'll leave it out next time.

This gumbo was a little too spicy for me, but I still liked it. I'll just use less cayenne pepper next time.
