Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Chicken and Vegetable Gumbo


If okra is hard to find or just isn't the family's favorite vegetable, use other vegetables that are on hand in the refrigerator or cupboard. Then it will be Chicken and Vegetable Soup.


1 1/2 cups canned chicken, shredded
1/2 lb. Sliced okra, frozen or fresh
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme, crushed
1 (14-1/2 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups white rice, uncooked
5 cups chicken broth

Spray large pot with nonstick cooking spray. Add okra, onion, bell pepper, black pepper, and thyme. Cook 5 minutes, stirring often.

Add tomatoes, rice, and broth. Bring to a boil; simmer for 15 minutes. Add chicken and heat thoroughly. Makes 8 (1 ¾ cup) servings. Leftovers can be frozen for later use.

VARIATIONS:

Other suggested vegetable choices for the soup would be carrots, zucchini, broccoli, celery, spinach, and corn. Vegetables that require longer cooking like carrots and celery should be added at the beginning of the cooking period.
Zucchini and broccoli should be added halfway through the simmering period.
Add chopped greens like spinach at the end of the cooking time so they wilt but aren't overcooked.
Other herbs may be substituted for thyme such as basil, oregano, or Italian seasoning.

TIME SAVERS:

During the 15 minutes that the soup is cooking, make a simple fruit salad from fresh, canned, or frozen fruit.
Add bread and milk to complete the meal. 
"Good people take care of their animals, but even the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel" Prov. 12:10
