Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 cloves garlic, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®), or more to taste
ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked instant rice (such as Minute®)
16 ounces frozen cut okra
14 ounces smoked kielbasa sausage, halved and sliced thinly
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 dash hot sauce, or to taste
1 pound shredded cooked chicken

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a large stock pot. Add garlic, celery, bell peppers, onion, oregano, Creole seasoning, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over vegetable mixture and mix well. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

This recipe was a disaster. The gumbo was bland and the chicken was tough. I won't be making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gumbo turned out too spicy. I had to add more water to tone it down.

The gumbo was good, but it wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for.

I've made this gumbo several times now and it's always delicious. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey.
