        In a pinch the Louisanna fish fry gumbo base is a good starting point.

          The pre-made roux in a jar is good - follow the instructions and it will turn out good. The HEB close to me sells a couple different brands....I like Karre’s but savois’ is good too.

          I do use chicken broth instead of water.

          I can make a good gumbo from scratch but the roux in a jar is just as good to me and my family.

                  I make chicken gumbo using the Louisianna Brand gumbo base. I still make my own roux as well, but that base just has some really good seasoning that I can't seem to duplicate. But I do saute green onions, celery , and add other spices as well. And for the chicken meat, I usually debone whole chickens so there is both white and dark meat.

                    If you are not comfortable making a roux I would use Doguet's pre made roux in a jar. It's the best I had found. If time is not an issue make your roux using peanut oil. It makes a very good base. As stated above, NO tomatoes and NO celery!

                      If you want a really good roux skip the oil and use bacon grease.

                          put some boiled eggs in there and let them soak up that flavor.

                            The way to do this is to poach the egg in the gumbo itself. Bring gumbo to rolling boil and turn off the fire so that the gumbo is hot but not rolling anymore. Then crack and gently drop your raw egg in the hot gumbo. Voila, poached eggs in da gumbo. Do not stir while eggs are poaching. In fact, this should be the last step, do not stir ever again lol.

                              I use CajunBlake's recipe and, it's awesome. I avoided making gumbo for years because the roux was hard to make. I follow Blake's microwave version. Tastes great and take 5 minutes.

                                I started using lard to make the roux whenever I don't have bacon grease. Makes a pretty dang good roux.
