Looks interesting but with all that sodium, seems like instant high-blood pressure! Submitted by:

Whether it's gumbo or soup, this sounds delicious! I will make sure to try this one. Spark people are creative so we can modify if you want to lower the calories etc.

this isn't a gumbo....you have to make a roux!
secondly...you would almost never put seafood in the same gumbo as chicken and sausage. You can make real "gumbo" healthy...but this is more like a heavily protein dense soup! I would have used water instead of chicken broth...if you have the roux 		Submitted by:

I used MUCH less sausage and added a pack of frozen okra. This reduces the cholest/fat content and still gives the flavor. Its tasty! Submitted by:

if you leave out the shrimp it lowers the cholesterol and by using fat free reduced sodium broth or veggie broth it lowers sodium content and fat content. Can replace sausage with firm fish or smoked tofu if want to again lower fat and sodium... Submitted by:

Will try this ! Be creative people! If the fat or salt are to high, then use substitutes, for pity sake! Sounds delicious! Submitted by:

Many of us in the south make gumbo w/o okra. The secret of a good gumbo is a smoky roux, the flour and fat paste browned slowly over low heat. It can be done with olive oil and whole grain flour. I also use thyme and "shrimp boil"; & yes, we do use sausage and shrimp in the same pot! Pour over rice. Submitted by:
