onions and return to a boil.

Coarsely chop the smoked mushrooms. Add it to the roux mixture and

into the simmering greens, and return to a boil. Add the parsley, cooked

red beans, and soy sauce to taste. Bring to a boil one more time, then

turn off the fire. Serve over rice.

This dish is best if refrigerated over night then reheated. This

recipe yields about two gallons of gumbo.
