“This is a great recipe and I’ve made it for years. Over time I have learned some things and made a few changes: 1) Roux is traditionally made slow and low and takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours to turn the beautiful chocolate color that gives gumbo its distinct flavor” — a cook, 5.0★
“Excellent! I made a batch and froze it in individual portions a few days ago. I enjoyed it so much, I'm gonna make another batch and not freeze any! I added a can of diced tomatoes in mine. It reminds me of Campbell's Chunky Soup, which is the reason why ” — a cook, 5.0★
