Cherchies Gumbo w/File Seasoning

Hot & Spicy!! Long grain rice, freeze-dried onions, green bell peppers and celery with a file seasoning and dried vegetables make this a spicy and thick soup. We suggest you use chicken and sausage, but you can try making it with any meat or seafood. Makes approximately 9 (1 cup) servings.
