"This hearty, tasty glop is one of the best dehydrated meals I’ve ever had,” declares one editor. A hands-down favorite, the gumbo jumble of chicken, okra—okra!—tomatoes, bell peppers, and rice is nearly foolproof to make: “Add too much water, and it was a nice soup; not enough and it was a rich stew,” says another tester.

Take the chill out of a winter evening with this hearty, delicious, stew-like entree. Packed with white-meat chicken, long-grain rice and tons of veggies, this savory gumbo had our staff fighting over the last ladle one cold night while camped on a glacier in Norway. “I’d never guess it was dehydrated,” says one tester. “The tubes of concentrated turkey broth give it home-cooked flavor.” Prep couldn’t be simpler: Just add water.

We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

This gumbo was very good! it tastes just made! I am very patient and you have to be so that the ingredients have time to rehydrate. Flavor is on point.

This was fantastic. Definitely one of the best bagged meals I have ever had. Might be my favorite so far. The hot sauce gave it a little kick but it was good without it as well. Very filling and a perfect meal on a cool day out on the trail.

Wow, this gumbo is absolutely amazing, the right amount of spice and kick to warm you up and it tastes great? Highly recommend, will be my favorite for sometime, i leave a few n my truck for when i travel so i can pull over whip out my alcohol stove and voila a good hearty and healthy meal!

I enjoyed this one, probably 3.5 or 4 out of 5 stars. Although in retrospect I think it'd have been much better with sausage. I didn't catch that suggestion until I was already on the trail, so it was far too late to do anything about it.
