    This homemade gumbo soup recipe is absolute the best and easiest dinner you will make this fall. Made with sausage, okra and black-eye peas, it’s not authentic, but it is super delicious and ready in just 30-40 minutes!

    My mother in-law makes this wonderful Gumbo Soup every time we go visit her.

    This time I actually got the recipe and plan to make this part of our monthly menu.

    I’ve had Gumbo in different restaurants in the past, and haven’t been a fan of it. Either because it was too spicy, too gooey, or it just something didn’t do it for me.

    But this Gumbo Soup recipe is absolutely delicious, so even if you haven’t liked Gumbo in the past, you need to try this one. It is lightweight, but really flavorful and super easy to make.

    By now, you should know that is the only type of recipe I like enough to post here. Mom life is already hectic enough, so fool-proof recipes that I can batch freeze and reheats well are my jam.

    How to Make the Best Gumbo Soup Recipe

    If you like sausage and okra, you will love this recipe.

    I don’t particularly care for okra, but my husband loves it so I include it in this recipe and just remove it from my bowl. If you don’t like okra, you can remove it altogether from the recipe and add more bell peppers.

    If you like it spicy, you might want to add a can of Rotel or fresh diced Jalapeños.

    And if the gumbo is too thick for you, you can add some water or tomato juice.

    This recipe also re-heats really well, so if you want to save some time, double the recipe and freeze it for a night where you need something quick out of the freezer.

    And don’t forget to pair this delicious Gumbo with crackers or cornbread! Yum!
