"I have tried several gumbo recipes and this was the best one by far. My 4 kids and my husband loved it. It's not easy to find something that they all like, so I really recommend this recipe."

ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 lb sausage, any flavor you prefer (I used a pork or venison sausage)
¹⁄₄ cup cooking oil
2 -3 tablespoons flour
2 large chicken bouillon cubes
1 large onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 lb frozen okra
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons jalapeno seasoning salt
2 tablespoons gumbo file
2 -3 teaspoons garlic salt
3 teaspoons creole seasoning
water, to cover

directions

In a large saucepan, cook the onion, celery, and peppers.
Remove veggies from saucepan and add oil.
Heat the oil and then add the flour. Brown the flour, making a roux. You will need to cook this until it becomes a coppery color (like a penny), stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.
In large stockpot, cook the chicken and sausage. Once that is cooked, add the veggies, including the okra and tomatoes. Add all remaining ingredients.
Next add the roux (cooked oil/flour mixture).
Let soup cook on low for about 3 hours. You really need to cook this soup a long time because it really enhances the flavors.

I am 34 years old and have been married for 16 years. I have 4 children ages 13,10, 7, and 6. I love trying new recipes and take great pride in the dishes and meals I cook. I am a stay-at-home mother, so I have the extra time to make home-cooked meals and to try more recipes than I would if I worked out in the public. I am also an experienced girl scout leader. I enjoy cooking with my girls, although we have only done it a few times. Being a girl scout leader is a lot like having a job because it is truly important to me and I feel an obligation to my girls.
