“This variation on Cherchies’ Gumbo has won huge praise from hungry skiers this winter!

16 oz. of diced chicken thighs, or breast, cooked and chunked

“I put hot sauce out for folks to season to their own level of burn. Thanks for all the great soups! Let me know if you need a testimonial; I love your products. I have substituted alligator meat for the chicken, which is delicious and gives it a Cajun flair in honor of New Orleans’ Super Bowl victory!”Louanne, thanks and congratulations!
