it was pretty good, but I did have to add some more spices. I also had a little corn and spinach left over so I threw some of that in there too. I don't think that made much of a difference. but overall it was pretty good.

This is really good but I thought it needed more spice and I don't like things real spicey. I'll definitely make it again though with added seasoning. I added okra from the garden. Would also be good with sausage or what ever left over meat was in the fridge. Edited to say. It wasn't good reheated. Will scale it down next time.

Every time I make this my entire family loves it. The only changes I make are to sub veggie broth for chicken broth (I'm vegetarian) and I also add cajun seasoning and/or hot sauce for some kick.

I had to make some alterations, but that's the great thing about gumbo.

Really yummy and really easy vegetarian (sub veg broth) meal! I added a little cajun seasoning and salt and the flavors really were delicious.

This is a very nice side dish. I don't often make black eyed peas but I would definitely make these again. I left out the green pepper and celery (too lazy to make the trip to the store) and used fresh tomatoes and a fresh chopped Thai chili pepper. I added a little chicken stock at the end to thin out the consistency. I also added salt, pepper and a little bit of Cajun seasoning.

This recipe is a good base for what can be an excellent meal. I found it needed some type of pork for flavor. Raiding the fridge, I gave it andouille sausage, ham and a few leftover bacon slices (a much needed improvement).

Yum. I omitted the bell pepper as I can't stand them, and decided at the last minute to use 3 cans of black-eyed peas and 1 can of field peas just to give it a little toss up in flair. Everything else was as written and I thought the dish was very good. I had trouble getting the brown rice to cook thoroughly, despite giving it extra time and liquid to cook. I seem to have that problem with most dishes involving rice so next time I'll just use my rice cooker and cook the rice completely and toss it into the mix. I made this a second time and added cooked ground turkey for a more satisfying meal. With or without the ground turkey, my family loved it. Thanks for a great addition to our family menu!

Yummy! I made it as written, with Zatarrain's and Frank's Red Hot on the side. It fit a wide variety of spice preferences that way. It was much more satisfying than other soups I've eaten recently. I also froze and ate it later. The rice was a bit gooier, but still yummy.

By far one of my favorite quick meals from this site! Everyone in my family loved it which is saying something in this family of 7. It is more like a jambalaya than a gumbo but who cares when it tastes this good!

I really liked this recipe, but my husband just said it was ok- but he isn't a big soup guy. It was a healthy meal and the only thing I changed was that I added chopped turkey sausage and did not add the rice. I was really hungry and didn't want to have to wait on the rice to cook. It had a great flavor!

As written, I gave this recipe a 2. No seasoning, very bland. With the additions I made I would give it a 5. Absolutely delicious. Used 4 cans of black eyed peas with bacon, a pound of smoked sausage cut into bite sized pieces, a teaspoon and a half of cajun seasoning, a sprinkle of wosterschier, and in place of broth I dissolved chicken bullion in hot water. I left out the bell pepper because my family and I don't care for them. I served this with fried cornbread fritters. Comfort at its best!

This is a wonderful recipe. Since my husband is a vegetarian, I added Tofurky-brand kielbasa, and it turned out great. We did notice, however, that the gumbo tasted the best the first night. It did not seem to get better as leftovers. Next time I may cut the recipe in half.

This was sooooo good!!!! Instead of using only black eyed peas, which I couldn't find, I used a can of mixed beans. I accidentally bought canned jalapeños instead of chilies, so I used just a few of those sliced up. It turned out amazing!!! Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent recipe! I made this dish for a New Year's potluck at work. We have several vegetarians in our group, so I substituted vegetable broth for the chicken broth. I chopped and sauteed 3 vegetarian (soy) chorizo sausages and then added the sausage after the celery, onion, and pepper had cooked. I used Zataran's Jambalaya rice in lieu of regular brown rice. Also added 1 tsp of cajun seasoning. Excellent flavors, and went great with corn bread!

This recipe makes a ton of gumbo! Adding sausage or ham to this is really a must. I'd recommend to spice it up a little too, maybe cajun seasoning or hot sauce?
