-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large red onion -- diced

1 large red bell pepper -- seeded and diced

1/2 cup chopped celery

2 garlic cloves -- minced

6 cups vegetable stock -- or water

14 1/2 ounce canned tomatoes -- diced (include juice)

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1 1/2 cups cooked dark red kidney beans

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell

pepper, celery, and garlic, cover, and cook, stirring a few times, until

softened, about 5 minutes. Add the stock, tomatoes, file powder, thyme, salt,

30 to 40 minutes.

 

2. Add the kidney beans and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes longer, to heat

through. Taste to adjust the seasonings.

 

3. To serve, spoon 1/2 cup rice into each soup bowl and ladle the hot gumbo on

top. Pass a bottle of Tabasco at the table. Serves 4 to 6
