Equipment

large stock pot
Whisk
Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

¼ cup butter
¼ cup flour
½ cup onion diced
½ cup celery diced
8 cups chicken stock (more or less depending how thick you want it)
1 cup okra cooked and diced
½ cup chicken cooked and diced
½ cup andouille sausage diced
½ cup ham cubed
14.5 ounces diced tomatoes 1 can
½ teaspoon cajun seasoning
salt, to taste
1 teaspoon gumbo file
4 cups New Orleans style dirty rice cooked, (you can also use white or brown rice)
green onions for garnish

Instructions

In a large stock pot over medium-low heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour, and cook for 12-15 minutes (stirring occasionally), until it becomes a caramel color.
Adjust heat to medium-high and add onions and celery. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, until vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in chicken broth 1 cup at a time, making sure the ingredients don't clump together. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add all the remaining ingredients (except the gumbo file, rice and green onions) and return to a simmer.
Add the gumbo file. Stir to combine.
Serve each bowl of soup with 1/2 cup rice and garnish with green onions.

Notes

*If you don't have gumbo file, you can substitute cornstarch by mixing together 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 Tablespoon of water and adding it to the soup.
