Outstanding gumbo! We used to live in Louisiana and this the definitely the taste I remember well. It was easy to prepare, filling, rich in flavor, and abosolutely delicious. My husband imediately ladled out a second helping. I garnished with a shake of file at the table, and provided hot sauce for those who wanted fire. Wonderful!

Wow!! This is the first time that I have ever tasted gumbo, let alone made it. I will be making it over and over again. The recipe was not hard to make at all, just time consuming to make the roux, but well worth waiting for.

12/19/08 oh my gosh i love it!! i made this with some chicken thighs & portuguese linguica & it came out so freaking good! i added a few extra veggies since i like to sneak 'em in...a couple of carrots & some green beans. the broth was so good!! i made a big pot so i'm glad to say we'll be having leftovers tonite which i'm looking forward to for two reasons...this dish is fantastic & i dont have to cook after christmas shopping tonite!! thanks malriah!! EDITED 08/19/09: made again w/ 5 skinless chicken thighs, 1 lb linguica sausage, 1/4 cp butter/flour, 2 cups okra, 7 garlic cloves, 2 carrots, 3 1/2 cups broth & Tony's..i only cooked the roux for 20 minutes & found out thats not nearly enough time to drink 2-3 beers like ur Gumbo Base (Aka Roux) recipe says so next time i'll spend more time on it!

My husband has been making the gumbo in the family, but I have wanted to try my hand at making it myself. This was very easy to make and it makes a hearty, tasty meal. My husband didn't want to admit how good it was--but I'll tell you--it was fantastic. The only thing I changed was skimming the fat off the top and file' at the table.

This was by far the best gumbo I have ever had. I had to leave out the green pepper as my hubby is alergic , so I added okra instead. Great. Will be making this again.

This was fantastic. This was my first time making gumbo and I've only had the gumbo they serve in restaurants here in Ohio (not authentic by any means), so I was a little skeptical about the directions not having exact measurements, but that was all put to rest when I served this to my family. My husband and girls were thrilled and we all had several servings! I've already had requests to fix it again and again. Thanks so much for this great gumbo recipe!
