Gumbo has been probably my favorite food for my entire life. My grandmother Hazel Forrest made the most amazing crab body gumbo. I don't think I have ever tasted its rival. The key to good gumbo is a thick ans well seasoned juice and the roux will make this a rich and delicious meal. This dish is always twice as delicious the second day so I usually make it the day before I serve it.

    Boil chicken in chicken broth. Once cooked remove. Keep broth at a rolling boil and add roux a few tablespoons at a time. Let this simmer for 15 minutes.
  • 2
    Begin adding all of the chopped vegetables and seasonings. Continue to season to taste as you cook. The powdered shrimp should be added a little bit a t a time.
  • 3
    Add chicken and sliced sausage and continue simmering for an hour or so. The consistency of the juice should become think enough to coat the back of your stirring spoon.
  • 4
    Serve over rice with potato salad. Of course the chicken and sausage can be substituted for shrimp and crab, or chicken a okra. This just depends on what kind of gumbo you prefer.
