Today I bought a can of Campbell's condensed chick gumbo soup. I sure as heck didn't like it. Is there file' powder in there? I don't know, but I'd sooner have regular chicken soup with rice or noodles. My question is: does this soup at all have any similarity with a traditional chicken gumbo? If yes, then
I will make gumbo and throw the whole thing out as good for nothing.

I've never eaten Campbell's chicken gumbo soup. I can't imagine it would
resemble homemade gumbo in taste in the least.

I've never seen Campbells chicken gumbo, least I've not noticed it.
But it's Campbells soup and I've eaten lots and none were noticably
bad... they don't come close to my homemade but none I've tried were
off putting. I find Campbells soups not special but all as good if
not better than soup from any restaurant. I'll guess that Campbells
gumbo contains okra and many people don't like okra. It just so
happens that next to beets okra is a favorate vegetable, and I grow
lots of okra. Too bad okra doesn't come canned like beets, would save
me a lot of work. When fresh okra is available one of our favorite
dishes is an okra omelet.

I've eaten many cans of Campbell's chicken noodle or rice soup throughout
my life when I've been sick. Also, just a quick filling meal so I can't fault
those soups.

I'm a fan of okra as well. I believe frozen, unbreaded, okra is available
here but when I go to the store this week I'll check it out. Do you like
pickled okra?? Pretty good stuff to me.

Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup
"Chicken stock, water, enriched egg noodles(wheat flour, eggs, egg
whites, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin,
folic acid), chicken meat, contains less than 2% of: modified food
starch, salt, chicken fat, monosodium glutamate, flavoring, chicken
broth**, beta carotene for color, cane sugar, soy protein isolate,
sodium phosphate, onions**, yeast extract, chicken**, onion extract,
garlic extract. ** dehydrated."

Were you sick before you ate the soup or after?

I love okra too. I don't understand why so many people hate it. I
never had it pickled, though. We get it frozen at an Asian store and I
think one mainstream supermarket also sells it frozen.

Popeye wants canned okra, so he can slurp it out of the can. Some
do like it. It's OK, but fried is much better.

No problems most places getting breaded frozen okra (I've not seen
unbreaded). In the north anything may be hard to come by. Lots of
yankees don't even know what okra is. It's as mysterious as grits
to most. Popeye probably wouldn't know either, if he hadn't
discovered it in the navy.

I don't know how close it may be to gumbo. I've only had the real
thing or variations made from scratch that were close.

I've not seen that one. Perhaps it's there but never noted it nor tried
it.

It's relatively easy to make and may or may not have okra.

5-6 cup batch

Have the following ready measured and cut to go:

1-1.5 cups mixed cut of bell peppers (red, green, yellow), okra
1-1.5 cups cooked chicken and sausage (link type, not like Jimmy Deans
rolls)
1/2 cup cut up onion
4 cups chicken broth

2 TBSP flour
1 TBSP fat (butter, bacon grease etc.)

Melt butter then whisk in flour on low heat until browned. Add onion
and vegetables (except okra) and continue cooking for 3 minutes,
stirring constantly and making sure to get any brown bits up. Then,
while stirring slowly add broth, whisking it in so no lumps form. Once
you have it all in, add meats, a bay leaf (if you have it), lots of
black pepper, okra (if using), mild chile powder*, and 1/2 tspn File
powder if you have it. Simmer until done (about 10 more minutes).

*Mild chile powder can be also a single anaheim pepper or a banana
pepper. This can also be made hotter if you like.

Traditionally served over rice. Most versions replace 1 cup of the
chicken broth with 1 cup of diced or crushed tomatos.

This is very much a 'play with it' recipe. I've seen it done with a
can of Rotel type tomatoes replacing that much of the broth and liked
the effect.

Hopefully this will help?

brand.

Hmmmmm, now I'll probably buy a jar of it and a jar of pickled beets.

Pickled okra is okay but I prefer it plain fresh from my garden.

It shouldn't come as a big surprise that Campbell's chicken gumbo is not a very good representation.

The ingredient list isn't quite as awful as I expected. There's actually okra in there, but I'd be surprised if it contains file powder. I suspect much of the thickening comes from the modified corn starch.

Perhaps the best use for Campbell's chicken gumbo is to make gumbo burgers, a sloppy joe variant seen mostly in the Midwest.

They're an interesting oddity, but better than I expected.

Campbell's sells both Condensed Chicken Gumbo and Chunky Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.

I've tried both and don't think either is very good.

If a restaurant served me something resembling Campbell's chicken gumbo, I'd probably eat it but I certainly wouldn't return.

You're in luck! Canned okra is available from a number of packers, including Allen's.
