Zucchini Gumbo (Crock-Pot)

Submitted by ellie_

"This soup/gumbo is good.Instead of the usual okra this uses zucchini. The original recipe called for file powder which I couldn't find - so skipped. Adapted from Fresh from the Vegetarian Cookbook. Without the rice this is only 2 WW points."

This was good! I had it over rice, as suggested, and enjoyed it! I scaled the recipe back a little. Thanks Ellie!
