This recipe is DE-LISH! I added shrimp and rice and left out the okra (couldn't find any... don't be surprised, I'm in the UK). Was quick and easy to make and is super filling! Definitely a keeper!

This was good. I made sure I baked the okra in a 450 degree oven for 45 minutes. This keeps it from being slimy once adding it to the gumbo.

Good soup! I did make some changes. I used 1/2 cup oil & 2/3 cup flour to start. I added 2 large onions, 4 stalks celery & leaves, 5 cloves minced garlic, 1 bell pepper instead of okra, cooked 10 minutes. Then I stirred in 8 cups of water, 2 cans chopped tomatoes, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 1-1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 4 bay leaves & better than beef boullian, simmered 20 minutes or so then added 3 cans black eyed peas, no meat added but I did serve with rice which was good.

Doesn't need the black eyed peas as it is very think and rich without them. I used bacon instead of ham. Served over brown rice, this was a very good supper and my husband requested the leftovers for lunch today. I will make this again.

I liked it. I used fresh peas and frozen okra (out of season) and turkey sausage instead of ham. Next time I will add shrimp and crab. Good recipe

This was delicious and just what I needed for New Years Day, a way to use up leftover ham (the old fashioned kind of bone-in ham) and a way to get black-eyed peas for the holiday. After it's done let it simmer covered real low for the tastes to blend. I had to use frozen sliced okra, the only thing available, and it turned out great! Only thing I added extra was a tsp. of chicken granules. Thank you, Paula from Susie

I will definitely make this again. I made some changes. First, I used smoked sausage instead of ham. I also used two cans of ro-tel tomatoes with green chiles instead of chopping fresh tomatoes. I did not have fresh parsley, so I used about half the amount of dried. Finally, I added half a teaspoon of dried savory. And like a previous reviewer, I cooked the vegetables in with the roux, and because I used frozen okra I added it last. The gumbo is very good. Thanks for submitting it!

This is a very good recipe! The only thing I did different was to cook the onion and celery directly in the roux until tender then added the okra (I used frozen becuase I could not find any fresh). I have made other gumbos that way and I hate making more pots dirty than I have to. Lazy me!:) Thanks for this wonderful recipe. The combinations are terrific.

I'm sorry to say that this dish isn't to my families taste. The Okra was very fibrous and spoilt it, I really picked them over too, it looked as if I was getting nice young ones, but obviously they weren't. Sorry Paula!

This recipe was soooooo delicious and so easy. I used fresh veggies, except for the tomatoes; I used canned, diced ones. I also added diced jalapeno peppers just to spice it up a little. True to her word, it was even better the second day!

Easy to make and full of flavor! I used can vegs and add it with the juice to omit the water. Minus the bay leaf added more garlic and onion powder.
