"This traditional green gumbo is often prepared during Lent. To make it totally vegetarian, simply eliminate the sausage and substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. For a shortcut version, substitute 3 to 4 (10-ounce) packages of frozen greens, thawed and drained, and reduce cooking time to 20 minutes, or until greens are tender...."
