  4. Pour in vegetable broth until a boil occurs. Simmer. Place the fresh thyme sprigs and bay leaves while simmering. 20 minutes.

Notes

You can double the Dried Spice Mix in order to sprinkle it on top of the Gumbo before eating. It is so tasty! Just make sure you only use half of it when you are pouring it in the pot.
