Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors before serving.
ALTERNATIVELY: Cut one corner of the bag; pour gumbo into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and gumbo will be very hot.)
BREAD BOWL: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a 2-4-inch circle into the top of the loaf and remove. Scoop out the inside of the bread to create a bowl (use soft bread to dip in soup or save for another use). Brush inside of bread bowl with 1 TBSP olive oil or melted butter; bake on middle rack until lightly toasted and warmed through, 7-8 minutes.

Reviews from our home cooks
Really good gumbo and this comment is coming from someone who grew up in gumbo country (South Louisiana). 😀
My husband loved it, said it was a little spicey. Would love to be able to buy bread bowls without getting soup.
The bowl could be a little sturdier but it was a truly delicious.
We are sure it is probably an excellent gumbo. We just prefer jambalaya and more meat.
