Loosely followed recipe: https://www.gumbopages.com/food/soups/chixsaus-gumbo.html
Subbed whole chicken for chicken thighs
Subbed oil based roux for dry roux (no oil/fat)
Used 2 quarts chicken stock, 2 quarts water instead of 4 qts only stock
Without rice, 1.5-2 cups of just the gumbo comes out to about 400 cals. With rice 550 cals.

This looks and sounds so delicious right now!!
I don’t exactly know what gumbo is though. It’s like a chunky soup? Traditionally, is it supposed to be spicy, sweet, smokey, savory,…? It’s for dinner, yeah? Is it a meal on its own or do you usually pair things on the side with it? What makes gumbo gumbo? 🤔
Hi from the River Parishes!
I always make a turkey and andouille gumbo after Thanksgiving and Christmas, but have never tried a dry roux. I think I’ll try it for my leftover Christmas turkey gumbo. Thanks for the idea!
Also, I have learned I am GARBAGE at calculating calories for things I make in large batches, like soups or gumbo. I’m glad to see the calories I entered were pretty darn close to yours. Thanks for posting!
