SLOW COOKER CHICKEN GUMBO SOUP
My family loves this slow cooker chicken gumbo soup and this is one your family will love too. I freeze okra in the summer just to use in gumbo. This dish is easy to make and really hearty and delicious. Top it with oyster crackers for a real treat I love any soup you can throw in the crock pot and let it just cook.
