Can you thicken soup with baking powder if you don't have flour?

Well, honey, technically you can use baking powder to thicken soup, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want your soup to taste like a science experiment gone wrong. Flour is the classic thickening agent for a reason - it blends seamlessly and won't leave your taste buds questioning your life choices. So, do yourself a favor and stick to flour, unless you're feeling adventurous and want to risk a soupy disaster.


Why is gumbo called gumbo?

Gumbo is a soup or stew made in Louisiana that can be made with a Roux which is flour and grease browned together and then when you get it as dark as you want it, then you add water or broth. You always have the trinity which is onion, bell pepper, and celery sauteed in it, and you add tomatoes. Okra is optional. Then, depending on what kind of gumbo you are making you add seafood, duck, chicken, alligator, sausage, or any combination of things, and cook it several hours and traditionally it is served over rice or you can have it as a delicious soup.

Gumbo originated in New Orleans, Louisiana and was created by the French, but enhanced by contributions of several cultures.

The dish itself is based on the French soup known as bouillabaisse. However, the dish's name is from the French interpretation of the West African name of okra.
