This gumbo was a bit too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little cream.

This gumbo was a great way to use up some leftover chicken and sausage. It was also a nice change from my usual weeknight meals.

I was disappointed with this gumbo. The broth was thin and the chicken and sausage were overcooked.

This gumbo was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.
