    just made this, and my family loved it!! i used 1 red bell and 1 green bell pepper. i also added carrots. i used 1/2 the can of tomatoes. and instead of all chicken broth i used half the chicken broth it calls for and the rest beef broth. also when you start the roux use 1/3 of a cup of flour because i found later in the recipe that it wasnt thick enough. the taste was great!! i put white rice on top and it was so delicious. even my grandmother who doesnt like anything (chicken, pasta, soups, sauces, vegetables she loved this gumbo. my family told me i have to make this again. thanks Rach!!! love your food!

    We tried this recipe with our family. Two of our grandkids, who are "picky" eaters had two servings of this great "Gumbo". We served two kinds of soup that day and the "Gumbo" was the top choice. Great comfort food from Rachael and easy to prepare. Also, this is even better on day 2 after a night in the fridge Will use it again!

    I was so disappointed. I have used many recipes from Ms. Ray's show and I have to say this was the worst thing I have ever cooked. I live in New Orleans and I know gumbo, this was not it. A good gumbo takes time to prepare and cook and I've never used tomatoes in my gumbo. My family thought I was nuts to serve this, never again.

    Agree with the earlier comment that this was basically tomato sauce. It had none of the complex flavors that gumbo should have. Then again, what do I expect when I cook it in 30 minutes?

    Suffice to say, my boyfriend, who eats just about anything, finished a boy. I ate dry cereal and a glass of wine. Definitely will not make again.

    This gumbo is delicious. I followed the directions exactly, except I substituted vegetarian Quorn pieces for the chicken, and Tofurky Kielbasa for the sausage. Yumm-o as Rachel would say. I will definitely make it again.

    I have made this gumbo several times and everyone alwas loves it!!! I save time by using a rotisserie chicken from Costco. As usual, I will be making a double or triple batch. I eat some now and then freeze single servings of the rest to have on hand for quick dinners in the coming cool-weather months. One suggestion would be to let it simmer for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

    I make the day before, add my own spices. Don't add okra. Put in the slow cooker. The chicken and vegetables brake down so nicely and the flavor. You can't beat that flavor when it has been sitting for many hours in a slow cooker.

    I made this recipe exactly as written...it looked like a big pot of tomato sauce...the bright red was not anything like gumbo
    I did "tweak" it in order to save...I added 1 cup of beef broth and 1/2 cup of worcestire sauce...this pumped up the flavor...also added additional hot sauce...will not make again

    A delicious and hearty recipe that makes a huge pot! It was awesome as leftovers too. I chose to sub out the chicken thighs and didnt use the okra. It was a piping hot bowl of spicy goodness!
