Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 12 cups water
  • 12 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 whole chicken (cut up)
  • 4 andouille sausages, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 1 lb okra, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce

Instructions

  1. 5 hours before you plan to serve the gumbo, begin making the roux.
  2. Combine flour and oil in a skillet and heat on medium low. Stir frequently!
  3. Combine the rest of the ingredients except for the shrimp and okra in a large pot. Chicken bones and all (this will add great flavor)!
  4. Heat on medium for 4 hours stirring occasionally.
  5. After 4 hours, add the shrimp and okra and begin removing chicken bones as you find them.
  6. Once the roux has reached a nice, dark brown color (this should take about 4 or 5 hours when done correctly), add it to the soup mixture.
  7. Be careful! It will sizzle and pop.
  8. In about 1 more hour, the shrimp should be fully thawed and cooked without adding a strong shrimpy flavor to the gumbo.
  9. Serve over rice. Warn your guests about the potential threat of chicken bones! ;).
  10. Enjoy!
