TOMATO AND OKRA SOUP

Take 1 1/2 pints of tomatoes pared and cut fine; 2 qts. water; 1 large onion minced fine; 3 tablespoons rice; 1 green pepper with seeds removed and minced fine; 3 teaspoons salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix all the ingredients; put into a soup pot, and cook gently for two hours; add two tablespoons butter and serve.

Straight from George Washington Carver but guess what HE FORGOT SOMETHING....


Yes, those FINE OKRA. I guess you would have to FIGURE out this ONE on your OWN.


Still a fine RECIPE (SIMPLICITY of INGREDIENTS and AFFORDABLE too) and I guess its not TOTALLY VEGETEARIAN.

sounds delicious, and nutritious thanks for sharing.

My Dad used to be in the restaurant and always told me that "OKRA" and "GUMBO" were synonomous but few recipes I see for GUMBO rarely use a tomato base and I dont remember ever using it myself but I guess cuz I was thinking about the sauce or paste rather than a "tomato soup".

Thanks for this.

Wow, that sounds very delicious; two of my favorite foods, okra and tomato soup:D. I can imagine how that would taste with the organic Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato soup I love so much :lips:
