EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Hot pepper sauce gives dishes a spicier flavor than ground red pepper.

To achieve a richer flavor, professional chefs use concentrated soup bases instead of canned broth. Try using 2 1/2 teaspoons concentrated chicken base mixed with 2 1/2 cups hot water in place of the chicken broth in this gumbo.

Hot cornbread and iced tea are perfect accompaniments to this Southern-inspired gumbo. For dessert, serve another Southern specialty: pecan pie or pecan cookies.

I have made this several times now and have tweaked it a bit. I cut up about a quarter pound of bacon and fry in the pot until crisp. I also add kelbasa sausage cut in small quarter size pieces. I fry all ingrediences intil well done. Then drain. I add the chicken broth, tomatoes, spices and let it simmer for about an hour (you really dont need to simmer at all). Right before I get ready to serve I add cut up shrimp. I serve with fried corned bread. YUMMM YUMMM
