Questions about Chicken gumbo soup
What is chicken gumbo soup?
It is a Louisiana-style soup inspired by gumbo, usually made with chicken, vegetables and a seasoned stock thickened with a dark roux, okra or filé powder. Ready-made versions can be thinner and simpler than a traditional gumbo.
How do you make chicken gumbo soup thicker?
For a roux, cook equal weights of flour and oil or butter over medium heat, stirring, until it is deep brown; this can take 20–30 minutes. Stir it into the soup and simmer for at least 10 minutes, or add sliced okra and cook until it releases its natural thickening juices.
What do you serve with chicken gumbo soup?
Steamed rice is the classic accompaniment: spoon the gumbo over it or serve the rice alongside. Crusty bread or corn bread also works well for mopping up the broth.
How long does chicken gumbo soup keep in the fridge?
Cool it promptly and refrigerate in a covered container; use it within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout, stirring so the chicken and thickened broth heat evenly.
Can you freeze chicken gumbo soup?
Yes. Freeze it in meal-sized, airtight containers for up to 3 months; leave a little room for expansion. Thaw it in the fridge and reheat gently, stirring, as the roux can separate slightly and may need whisking.
Is chicken gumbo soup high in sodium?
A 126 g serving has 873 mg of sodium. If you are making it from scratch, use unsalted stock and season gradually, since smoked sausage, stock cubes and prepared broth can all add a lot.
How does chicken gumbo soup compare with chicken broth soup?
Chicken broth soup is lighter, with 31 kcal and 4.42 g of protein per 100 g; chicken gumbo soup has 45 kcal and 2.1 g of protein. Gumbo is thicker and more substantial, particularly when served with rice.
Does chicken gumbo soup contain okra?
It may do, but not every version does: okra is one traditional way to thicken gumbo, alongside a browned roux or filé powder. If you want the characteristic texture, add sliced okra and simmer it in the soup until tender.
