Classic Louisiana-Style Red Bean Gumbo

Classic Louisiana gumbo is traditionally a bean stew made with meat or shrimp, okra, red pepper, celery, and onion. In this vegan version, beans function as the only protein and do not hold back on flavor. Not only is it full of layers upon layers of flavor, but this dish only requires one-pot.
