It tasted okay, but needed a lot more spice to give it flavor and was more like a liquidy soup than a gumbo should be.

As a New Orleans native, I am covetous of preserving our rich legacy of fine cooking. I agree with the rest of the "Louisianians" that this isn't even close to what gumbo is supposed to taste like. Despite what "anonymous" claims is the definition of gumbo, this dish must start with a roux - ask Emeril if you don't believe me. Furthermore, no one puts dried mustard or oregano in chicken gumbo. Our Cajun heritage demands a better rendition of this favorit dish!

Take a look at the reviews of people from Louisiana. I was born and raised in southern Louisiana and this is not real Louisiana gumbo. It looks more like veggie soup or stew. It may be okay for some but a it's a bad representation of a great dish.

I've made a couple of Robin Miller's recipes now, and all of them have lacked true flavor. This "gumbo" came out watery and the only true flavor came from the andouille sausage, which was delicious. I wish I'd read other reviews before hand, because I would've added real minced garlic, tomato sauce instead of juice (or maybe crushed tomatoes, more cayenne pepper and other spices, etc. I don't think I'll be trying any more of her recipes, because I've been nothing but disappointed.

Definition of gumbo: A soup or stew thickened with okra; Very good!

This was okaaaay, but not ultra-flavorful. I added a peanut-butter colored roux at the very end to try and spice things up a bit and it really helped. I didn't use okra because...I don't know. I'm a Norwegian from Colorado, and okra's not really a part of our repertoire. This may be partially my fault for not following the recipe to a "t," but it did turn out pretty tasty after the roux was added. Bonus points for it being so easy to put in the crock pot all day.

Well, not so "quick", but definately easy..... I cooked on high for 3 1/2 hours, and served over white rice. Pretty tasty, especially for a healthy meal that cooks while you clean your house, workout, etc! I did add three cloves of garlic for more flavor, like other reviewers, and I liked the heat from the cayanne pepper. I didn't have tomato juice, so I added a 6 oz can of tomato paste to equal parts water, and it seemed to be fine. Would recommend that you give it a whirl and see if you like it, too!

the flavors were a little off. it was very bland when you first took a bite, yet had a lot of flavor and heat at the end.

i first noticed when it was half way done when i took a quick taste test...i improved it by adding 6 tablespoon of tomato paste to give it a kick and a little more garlic and onion powder...

overall came out OK, but im letting it rest in the fridge for a day or two to see if the flavors marry. not horrible, but not amazing either =/

I'll make it again. It's definitely a "quick" fix!
