Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Chop the onion, bell pepper, and celery. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and celery until they become soft. Then add the ground garlic, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Increase the heat, pour in 1 cup of water, and add the meat (any leftover meat will work for the soup; you might have some grilled meat prepared with barbecue sauce).
Step 3
Next, add the crushed canned tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes until the meat is tender. Add the okra, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of hot sauce (you can add more if you like it spicy).
Step 4
Continue cooking for about 15 minutes until the soup thickens. Serve with rice and flatbread. Enjoy your meal!
