  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>This dish was inspired by my family wanting a quick and filling meal even though the fridge was low on supplies.  If you want some variation, you can add shrimp or other seafood. I have always loved my mothers Gumbo and wanted to try a working mothers&#8217; version.</p>]]>
