We are finally getting some tomato and okra ripe and ready. Add a bit of fresh chive to this easy soup for color and zest.
Okra Tomato Soup
Serves 3-4
6-8 okra pod sliced
4 large ripe tomato diced
1 medium onion chopped
1 clove garlic diced
3 – 4 cups chicken broth
dash of red pepper to taste
salt and pepper to taste
chives for garnish
Just place all ingredients but chives in a stock pot.
Bring to boil and then simmer until Okra is tender, about 20 minutes.
Garnish with chives.

Great idea for soup. After seeing my brother’s garden, I wish we had one again.

Hey Penny!
I love a garden, but this year has been very hard to keep up. Some years it is very trying.

After almost 40 years of gardening, I am growing okra for the first time. Now that I am just starting to harvest them I have been looking for recipes. Your recipe looks delicious & it’s so easy. I think it’ll be my first attempt.
Do you think adding some corn to the mix would work out?

SteveB, The corn idea sounds wonderful! I am going to have to try that myself. Thanks!

I am ate mine with buttered corn-on-the-cob on the side. What a great way to utilize the garden harvest. Thanks!
