• 4 cups chicken broth
• 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 cups okra (fresh or frozen, sliced)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the andouille sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook for 6-8 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and sliced okra to the pot. Stir everything together.

Step 6

Season the mixture with paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the bay leaves.

Step 7

Bring the gumbo to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add the cooked sausage back into the pot. Stir in the raw shrimp and let them cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque.

Step 9

If using, stir in the gumbo file powder for added thickening and flavor. Remove the bay leaves.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 11

Serve the gumbo hot, optionally spooned over cauliflower rice for a low-carb base. Garnish with chopped parsley.
