Ingredients for Bleeding Gums Gumbo
2 fresh tomatoes
2 red bell peppers
core and seeds removed
1 can chicken gumbo soup, condensed
1 can tomato soup, condensed
2 cups water
11 ounces whole kernel corn, canned — drained
Directions
Carefully chop tomatoes into small blood-clotty pieces and red peppers
into gum shapes. (The illustration shows cutting the peppers in half from
stem to bottom, then cutting each half in half crosswise.) Set aside. Pour
the soups and water into a large saucepan and cook at medium heat until the
mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat and let simmer. Add the blood clots,
gums and corn kernels (rotting teeth) to the soup and continue to simmer,
stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until gums are tender. Ladle into individual soup bowls.
