“If you can make gumbo, you can make this,” Gabriel Senette said of his backyard soup. Senette started cooking when he was a teenager, so gumbo might be easier for him than the rest of us, but his backyard soup is even easier. Inspired by Vietnamese pho, it is flavored with herbs, chili crisp and what Senette calls the Asian Trinity – garlic, ginger and onions. The addition of premade dumplings and a side serving of spicy sweet cabbage salad makes for a full, satisfying meal.
