What are you going to use, chicken,sausage, seafood? My wife is from Tennessee but she can make a fine gumbo. My favorite is gumbo with shrimp and crab meat.

I have chicken sausage and shrimp in this batch. It’s simmering the afternoon away now. First roux did not turn out good at all. Second one is much better. We’ll see!

Personally,I make my roux in the oven,same ingrediants and stir every 15 minutes,seems like its at 200 degrees but I may be wrong.

This is the basic recipe I use for Gumbo. You can replace the duck with whatever you want...and I don't see the point of the Chicken soup as an ingredient.

Alton Brown's method.....but for the love of all that's holy, use some type of animal fat, NOT VEGETABLE OIL. Butter, duck fat, bacon grease, lard.

I used lard. It turned out so good. I’m miserable.

Andouille sausage is a must. I've put a little bit of everything in it-squirrel, rabbit, catfish, gar, deer, crawfish, shrimp-even and eel I caught on KY lake once. All you need is andouille and chicken to make a good bowl, though. I used to prefer a blonde roux, but over time I grew to prefer a dark roux-maybe it was just getting it right.

And yes, PLEASE use something besides vegetable oil.

And my preference is to serve over boudin rather than simply rice, but that's just a preference.

We used rice tonight. It was REALLY good but I will change a few things next time.

I always have a pot of fresh cooked rice, put the rice first and add the gumbo on top.
