I'm not a big fan of canned soup but this was delicious. Used fresh okra and found some info on how to "prepare" fresh okra before using. Rinsed well and soaked in vinegar for 30 minutes then rinsed well and let dry. Not sure if it did anything, but the okra didn't seem too slimy. I don't have much experience with okra, so maybe someone has a better idea.
