SLOW COOKER CHICKEN GUMBO SOUP

Ingredients

3 to 4 cups chicken, cooked and chopped (I usually cook a whole chicken the day before and use leftovers to make this the next day)

2 cups or 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth

1 carrot, chopped or sliced

1 green pepper, chopped

1 onion, chopped

1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes

2 cups fresh okra or 1 (16 ounce) package frozen

1 1/2 cups water

1 teaspoon cajun seasoning

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

Cayenne or hot sauce to taste

1 cup long grain rice (Could use instant rice)

Put all ingredients in crockpot and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 7 hours.

This is a great comfort food and a good one for the fall of the year or the winter months.
