Okra is a favorite Southern vegetable. It is available where I live in Charleston, SC during the spring and summer months. Lots of fiber and nutrients, but somewhat “slimy”. The “slime” actually acts as a thickener. Here is a great way to eat okra in a soup along with some other goodies.

 

I love this soup. It’s simple and healthy. Basically, I use my homemade bone broth, fresh okra, natural Polish Kielbasa, shiitake mushrooms, and sweet onions. Get a tablespoon and try it.

 

Ingredients:

• Approximately 3 cups raw okra
• 1 sweet onion, sliced
• 5 oz. package of sliced Shiitake mushrooms
• 12 oz. package of natural Polish Kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/4 inch discs
• 8 cups of bone broth
• 1/4 Tsp red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste

 

Preparation:

1. Place whole okras into a steamer pot
2. Steam for 5 minutes
3. Cut steamed okra into 1/4-inch discs and place into a Dutch Oven pot
4. Place onions, mushrooms, and sausage into steamer pot
5. Steam for 5 minutes
6. Place into Dutch Oven pot with okra



7. Add 8 cups of bone broth to Dutch Oven pot
8. Add red pepper flakes
9. Bring to boil; then cover and simmer for 20 minutes
10. Salt and pepper to taste
11. Enjoy!!!
