1. In a medium skillet over medium, heat oil and add flour to make a roux. Whisking constantly,
cook roux until it turns a chocolate brown color. Lower heat as necessary to keep from burning.
This will take about 15 minutes.

minutes. Transfer mixture to slow cooker crock.
3. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, Creole seasoning, chicken, sausage and okra and thyme to slow
cooker.

until shrimp is cooked through.
5. Serve over rice

Personal Notes:
If you want to omit the okra (why would you ever want to omit okra from ANYTHING?!), you can use file powder to thicken your gumbo. I don't know how much because I never use it...I do not omit the okra!
