I have learned something wonderful tonight and want to share it with all my friends. Campbell's makes a Healthy Choice Chunky soup called "Grilled Chicken & Sausage Gumbo". By itself it is bland, but if you add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce to it you easily have a good meal. It taste like the gumbo and jambalaya I have to pay $10-15+ for any place else. For $1.50 a can I am certainly going to be buying more of this! |

Creole specialties.
And damn tasty when made properly. Which I doubt Campbells is capable of.
Why can't I just delete my signature CCP? WHYYYYYYY?

And I still have no idea what those foods actually are. They sound messy though. |

They are wonderfully messy and quite delicious. They also have lots of different ways of being made. I think I saw a recipe for squirrel gumbo somewhere.

I've heard of both but then I used to watch cooking shows on the tele almost exclusively.
Never tried either though.

Pack your bags, travel to Louisiana, and ask for gumbo. Better yet, ask for gator gumbo.
p.s. It's like a thick, meaty soup. |

Gumbo is a heavily seasoned meaty soup thickened so much you can call it and even serve it as a stew (sometimes on rice).
Jambalaya is a slightly different version of Spanish paellas, so basically a (usually meaty) risotto with less rice and less creamy stuff but a lot more everything else.
I personally like to make something between a risotto and a jambalaya in terms of spice content and rice-to-other ratios.

Make your own gumbo, it's not hard. You can put anything in it-- shrimp, chicken, sausage, fish, turtle, whatever. Steps:
-Make your roux. It's like a flour gravy. Get vegetable oil almost smoking hot in a frying pan. Watching out for explosions, stir in the flour. Turn the heat down to low and brown the flour while breaking up any clumps. You're aiming for a smooth gravy. Brown it from "blonde" up to "brunette", according to your preference. The darker, the stronger the toasted flavor, of course. Set your roux aside.
-Chop up your "Cajun cooking holy trinity"-- onion, green pepper and celery.
-Brown some Italian sausage, if you have it. If you're using chicken or red meat (not seafood), brown that with the sausage. Add in your trinity mixture and saute it.
-Put all of that in a soup pot. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, or a chopped tomato. (Note: Not all gumbo has tomato. It's your choice). Add water and your spices: salt, black pepper, bay leaf, thyme maybe, and cayenne pepper.
-Add in cut okra. The okra is mandatory. It makes that gumbo flavor, not the spices. Cook everything slowly. Add in roux to thicken the soup up to how you like it. If you have it, add in file (fee-lay) powder at the end.
This is a simple recipe for amateurs. Real gumbo makers take it seriously and have their own special recipes and techniques. Whatever, make sure you make a huge batch while you're at it. You're going to want enough to have leftovers for a while. |

Grab a Jambalaya recipe and try it - its kinda simple enough it pretty much makes itself and most recipes are good eating.
You'll like it.

I think I will be trying this soon with some chicken. How long do you cook it?
I also noticed you do not add any rice. Why? |

That's for jambalaya. The rice is an optional side-dish for gumbo, not an ingredient.
As for how long do you cook it, the key is constant tasting, and you stop when you're happy with the results.
From the moment you start the "simmer mode", it could take under half an hour, or it could take more than a whole hour.
It depends a lot on how much moisture was in it to begin with and how high your "slow boil" heat really was, and of course, on just how thick you want it and how much of the thickening agents you can stand to use (you really DO NOT want a lot of undercooked roux, so ffs, don't add more near the end if you want it thicker, just simmer some more to get out some moisture instead, even if that means other stuff goes a bit mooshier).

Gumbo maybe. Needs something fishy in it though. But jambalaya is not even close to a soup.
