Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 cups chopped onions

  • 2 cups chopped green bell pepper

  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 pound Italian sausage

  • 3 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice

  • 1 pound cooked, shredded chicken

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 ½ cups spicy tomato-vegetable juice cocktail (such as V8®)

  • 4 teaspoons Creole seasoning

  • 1 pound uncooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Cook and stir flour in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat until flour turns golden brown, about 15 minutes. Pour browned flour into a bowl and return pot to heat.

  2. Increase heat to medium and add oil to the pot. Cook and stir onions and bell peppers in hot oil until slightly softened, about 7 minutes.

  3. Stir garlic, thyme, and bay leaves into onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add sausage to onion mixture and cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. Stir diced tomatoes with juice, shredded chicken, chicken broth, vegetable juice cocktail, browned flour, and Creole seasoning into sausage mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer, stirring often, until mixture is hot and flavors blend, 20 to 30 minutes.

  5. Pour shrimp into sausage-chicken mixture; bring to a simmer. Cook shrimp until they are pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 5 minutes.

  6. Discard bay leaves. Season gumbo with salt and pepper to taste.
