Serve up the flavors of the bayou! You'll leave the table satisfied, as it's chock-full of veggies, seasonings and sausage. Add in even more Cajun flavor with Andouille sausage. —Sharon Delaney-Chronis, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I made this using cajun spice instead of the thyme and oregano. Used spicy smoked sausage and added some frozen okra and it is YUMMY! I don't care that it is not "real" gumbo like some said if you come from Louisiana, so for those of us who like a variation this one is a keeper!

This is a good starter for a base gumbo, but like someone said earlier there is too much oregano and thyme in it!!! Not enough cayenne either... It needs other seasonings as well such as salt and pepper... And also as someone said earlier it's not a real gumbo either considering 'real' gumbo doesn't have carrots in it, but they're good for the color... I also did add some more chicken broth... And I've also never heard of tomatoes being put in gumbo, but I'm trying it out... I'm not from Louisiana, but I love Louisiana cooking... I make gumbo and jambalaya all the time and I'm always looking for new recipes to try out and change... I've also added some left-over turkey from Thanksgiving and from what I've tasted so far it's really good... But the next time I make this I will cut the Thyme and Oregano in half or more!!!

It was a easy recipe to do. But the family didn't like it, the spices were to over powering.

I made this recipe as it was written. It was good but the next time I will only use half or less of the Thyme and the Oregano. My husband and I thought that they were over powering.

Really easy and so tasty! The only change I made was to add some minced garlic to the veggie mix. I almost added more broth because it seemed really thick when I put everything in the crockpot, but it thinned out as it cooked. No extra liquid needed.

<p>Having lived in true Cajun Country (Lafayette, LA) all my life, when I saw the picture of this "gumbo" I had to chuckle. I agree with a previous reviewer that real gumbo would NEVER have carrots in it! Nor would it have Polish sausage in it. And depending on where in Louisiana you live, it might not even have tomatoes in it....and no, real gumbo does not "have" to have okra in it. That is a matter of taste and, again, geographic location. I'm not saying you shouldn't try this recipe because it probably tastes great...but for those of you not from Louisiana, just please know that this is not real gumbo!</p>

Made this a little bit healthier using Turkey Smoked Sausage (far less fat in the sausage). Omittted the thyme, as it is not my favorite spice. Served over whole grain pasta or whole grain brown rice for less carbs. Husband finished the whole pot in two meals. Easy prep. This recipe went into my favorite recipe cookbook.
