Kim that looks delicious and if it pleased The Morrow Clan it must have been 😘. I’m from the UK and I’m in awe at what you guys can get pre-made in the US: chicken stock 😂 (I know yours was homemade), tomato and okra 🤔, Tony Chachere’s 🤷♀️, roux in a jar 😮 and lastly cornbread in a can 🤯. Us Brits are in the dark ages as far as availability of “exotic” ingredients so when I made this it turned into Chicken Soup! 😂 I love to watch your cooking “adventures” and marvel at your amazing ingredients 🥰
Congratulations Kim on your Gumbo👏👏👏!! I’m 73 and never made Gumbo , I’m so happy for you that it was a successful 1st time for you , now you won’t be worried next time because you have it down Pat !! Stay warm and God bless !! ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
Good chilly burr cold Monday morning from Dallas Oregon, 23 degrees here. We had a nasty ice and snow storm here starting last Friday night. We are supposed to get another storm beginning Tuesday afternoon. Hope you are all safe and cozy warm. Have a blessed day.❤❤❤😊😊
Great job Kim. So many people think making a roux is difficult. It really isn’t. It’s just making your thickening agent and simmering it plenty long to get the flour taste out of it. It’s the same when you make milk gravy from the grease after frying chicken. Your gumbo looked great. Congrats.
Hi Kim and Levi I’ve never heard of gumbo until I heard Lester talking about it as his favourite food once. And various other times Gigi cooking and pawpaw videos and now yours. It does look delicious and everyone enjoyed so I think you’ll be making it lots more often now. Have a great day. Stay warm take care. God Bless. 🙏💕🦋❄️
Hi Kim and Levi that gumbo looks delicious Kim. I bet it came out great I'm sure everyone's going to enjoy it Hope you have a wonderful evening Catch you on the next one God bless stay warm❤❤❤❤
I have been using jarred rue for years which makes a wonderful dark gumbo. After you sauté the trinity (onions, celery and bell pepper) you simply add the roux and stir good. I then add my chicken broth, diced tomatoes, chicken, andouille sausage, okra and seasoning. For years my Cajun dad did not know I used jarred roux. It is a life saver.
Kim, Your Tue looks perfect….I do mine in the oven now…hadn’t stir on the stove for about 15 years now…..you did great…Y’all stay warm and let’s pray this front doesn’t come back anytime soon 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Thank you Kim. I've not made gumbo because of the okra and being afraid it would be too tough. I didn't realize I could use the canned okra. I appreciate you.
Hi Kim & Levi hopefully you’re all staying warm.i have never had Gumbo I think I will try it. Have a wonderful day sending love & hugs your way. -17 here today a lot of snow the grandkids went sledding yesterday.🥶🥶🥶❤️
I am from south Louisiana and gumbo is the go to when it gets cold… chicken, okra and sausage gumbo is the best! We never put noodles in it, serve over a small amount of rice… and don’t forget the potato salad! Yummy!
Your gumbo looks delicious, Kim. I might even try my hand at it here at 61. Lol. I hope Levi's feeling better and prayers everyone stays safe and warm during this brutal weather.
Tip from a soul food RU-vidr that I follow - You can make a large batch of roux and keep it in the fridge. Just grab a scoop of roux whenever you want something thickened. So simple and easy.
Kim I learned to make roux in the microwave in a microwave safe large casserole or measuring cup and so much easier than standing over stove. Stir every few minutes instead of continuously. I make one big batch and refrigerate it in jars to last for a while even if I can run to store and buy it. Try making it with just chicken and sausage and leave out the okra. Yum!
Looks good Kim, you did a great job. Stay warm with the cold temps. I noticed that you are getting freezing rain right now. I hope you don't lose power.
Morning/ soon/ Afternoon. Your gumbo looked delicious, send some up to Missouri huney and ill taste it. Heehehee im sure everyone loved it. My sister always made gumbo with shrimp with homemade bics. I loved hers too. Have a blessed 🙌 week ahead and prayers everyone doesn't lose power and stay warm.... Yessss Ma'am, its always better the next day....❤❤
Good job! it always feels good when you try something an it turns out and sometimes you end up with a happy accident lol. did you use any spices or just let the veggies and stuff blend? I would also say any recipe that your mom made when you were a kid an you haven't tried yet or want her to show you ...get out the list an start, I asked my mom to help me ( her sit an tell me as I do) when she got home from the Hospital after she rested up a little but before we were able to she passed, I did try to make first time I didn't like them but the second was good brought back memories. I made up enough so I could put a few in a small brown lunch bag for each of my siblings an took them to their house during covid lock down just so they could think back at hopefully happier times or at least remember some of the good treats mom would once in awhile. Thanks for sharing
Good morning Kim. Hope you and Levi are staying warm and doing well. Chicken gumbo is delicious. Now you make me want to make a pot of it. Have a great day God bless you both. ❤
Hi Kim❤ Hi Levi ❤ I use Margret Homes Butter Beans and Black EyedPeas. I love the way they season them. Their delicious ❤it looked yummy ❤ I hope Levi is feeling better ❤🙏🥰
When making chicken broth have you ever tried adding all the bones (breaking most). Also great with turkey. The bones pieces seem to add such a feeling of health to body. Cloth straining it at the end
Kim, if you have ever made homemade gravy you can make a roux. It is one of the most simplest things you can do. It’s not as hard as everybody thinks it is good luck. I hope your food turns out well. God bless and have a beautiful day.❤😊
