    This may be miss labeled by some people's opinion, however if you are looking for a different twist on a soup, this is one you should try. Because of other posts, the only swap I made was swiss chard instead of dandelion greens- I didnt want a pot of bitter soup and it was delicious! Obviously, if you read the recipe, you know it wont magically become a gumbo...Thank you Rachael for another yummy soup recipe to add to my collection !

    I don't know what this is, but gumbo it is not.

    For once I understand where Anthony Bourdain is coming from. This is not about whether the dish is good or not it's about the fact this is NOT gumbo. I live in New Orleans and if I attempted to serve this as gumbo no one would come to my home again for dinner. What a joke. And those muffelatas! Same thing. Call it something else Ray. If your daddy is from Louisiana he should tan your backside!
