Gumbo and Garlic Bread

Normally I would think twice before recommending a mix.  However, after my whole family loved the soup that was based on a box of Zatarain's Gumbo Mix, I feel comfortable mentioning it.  We even fought over the leftovers, and that is unheard of in our house.

I’ve never been to Louisiana and thus have never had a proper Gumbo.  This one was spicy, and (as directed) I added my own sliced sausage and cooked, diced chicken.  If I’d planned ahead, I could have included shrimp as well.  I also made lots of garlic bread, figuring if nobody liked the Gumbo we wouldn’t starve to death.

We didn’t go hungry.  We ate everything and wished there were more.
