Cooking Time: 195 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup (cup) vegetable oil
• 1 Cup (cup) all-purpose flour
• 1 Pound (lb) andouille sausage, sliced
• 2 Celery stalks, minced
• 1 Large green bell pepper, minced
• 1 Large onion, minced
• 4 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 1 Pinch Creole seasoning, to taste
• 6 Cups (cups) chicken broth
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 Rotisserie chicken, shredded

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux, cooking until it reaches the color of chocolate milk, about 8 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the roux; if black specks appear, start over.
3. Add the sliced sausage, minced celery, bell pepper, and onion to the roux. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook and stir for another 5 minutes.
4. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning. Stir well to blend. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in the shredded chicken and simmer for an additional hour. Skim off any foam that rises to the top during this time.
6. Serve the gumbo hot, and enjoy!
