So very tasty and easy to throw together! I routinely keep chopped red/green pepper pieces and chopped onion in zip top freezer bags in my freezer for last minute additions to recipes on busy nights. I made it with shrimp the first time around (I used 1 large can of V-8 to make 2 different batches of soup. I froze the unused portion after making the first batch...worked like a charm for the 2nd batch of soup) and used sliced smoked kielbasa and some home smoked turkey breast chunks for the second batch. We loved both versions! Thanks so much!

I've never made gumbo before but I used this recipe and added chicken, sausage, celery and okra and "Bam!" I went ahead and cooked the rice first and I only had a couple of cups of tomatoe juice so I made up the rest of the liquid with chicken broth and I dropped in a couple of veg. boullion cubes. You rock Ed!

This recipe is excellent! It has become a staple in our household. Its good just how it is. But we also like to add a can of corn and spicy chorizo sausage which makes it a little more hearty!

YUM! This was excellent and good for you too! I only had plain tomato juice so that is what I used. I also added a bit of Old Bay, but I bet if I had used V-8, it wouldn't have even needed that. I will find out next time. Thanks for such a great recipe! Okay, this time I made the soup with V-8. Honestly, I couldn't taste THAT much of a difference. Although, I will admit, it didn't need any Old Bay this way. Next time, I will probably make it with whatever's on sale - V-8 or tomato juice. Thanks again!

This was great. I had to modify it a bit because the recipe was a bit smaller than I expected. I doubled everything except the clam juice and shrimp plus I added 1 pound of smoked sausage. I also used V8 spicy. The whole office loved it! Thank you for sharing the recipe.

This recipe was really good. My kids ate it up even though it was spicy. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. It will make for a great winter regular in my house. I am planning on adding in some sausage next time.

Excellent taste. I substituted a packet of dehydrated baby shrimp instead of the clam juice to flavor the broth. Just wrap the dried shrimp in cheesecloth and remove for serving. Also, I substituted chicken broth for water to make it richer.

This is pretty good. It was a bit bland so I added some Old bay, Lawry's, in addition to some cajun seasoning to spice it up a bit. Nice and quick!
