Cajun Shrimp Soup (Gumbo Filé)
12 ingredients
Serves 4.
openrecipes
A mainstay of Cajun and Creole cooking, gumbo filé lends a woodsy, herbal sassafras flavor, with delicate tangy and peppery notes, to this soup. For a heartier soup that resembles a quick version of gumbo, ladle each serving of soup over a scoop of cooked long-grain rice.
