    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. - 3/4/08

    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 - 3/11/08

    Hey ladies!
    For those of you that make a roux with oil and flour. You can use whole wheat flour and bake it in the oven. - 3/9/08

    Wow people! Its ok if it has a slightly high fat content! Just make sure you have small portion! - 3/5/08

    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! - 3/4/08

    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... - 3/4/08

    I found this very good. It was pretty thick so served it on rice. We all enjoyed it. What I liked was the high fibre content. - 3/4/08

    I tried it and the family (picky eaters) and I (not a picky eater) loved it. We will eat this again in the future. - 3/4/08

    I changed the chicken broth to the fat free kind to lower the calories and fat. Cal are now 303.5, and fat is 2.6g and fiber 4.8. Went from 7 pts to 5 pts per serving! - 3/4/08

    Needs bay leaf and/ or
    Felea. Will be trying it again with those seasonings in it - 7/29/15

    I don't care what it's called...all I know is it was delicious! I actually used some leftover turkey instead of the chicken and only used half the cayenne just because we can't handle a lot of spice. I will make this again. - 12/29/11

    I found it very tasty, substututed left over ham for the sausage and added a little hot sauce to spice it up a bit. I madeway to much rice with it, but it still turned out good. - 1/8/09
