Gumbo is a roux based thick soup or stew usually made with poultry or seafood. Commonly used meats include chicken, duck, or quail, and for seafood versions crab, crawfish, and/or shrimp. Secondary meats are added to give the gumbo a rich smoky flavor such as fresh or smoked sausage, tasso and/or andouille.
Cajun style gumbo is very dark, while Creole style is a medium brown and adds tomatoes during the cook.
Okra is sometimes used to thicken the gumbo with the roux. Filé powder made of ground dried sassafras leaves is sometimes added after the dish is served.
