Hearty Vegetarian Gumbo

There are 2 things my husband and I love: hearty soup during the winter time and recipes that provide leftovers. This vegetarian gumbo recipe provides both! We are obsessed with this recipe. When we became vegetarian, one thing we both “missed” so to speak was gumbo. So we came up with this perfect recipe that totally hits the spot! It has all the typical hearty gumbo flavors combined with a plethora of veggies and spices that makes this recipe amazing!

This recipes makes 8 servings (yes, I know that’s a lot!). It is great as leftovers. In fact, my husband and I like to double the recipe and use an over-sized soup pot just so we can make it last for a few days. The other note I want to make sure you know is that since there are a lot of ingredients, it is best to prepare all items before beginning to cook. In our pictures, we have doubled the recipe, so you will see lots of ingredients, but don’t stress! Just follow the ingredient list and directions and you’ll be golden!


 

Serve over rice and enjoy!
