The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
16 ounces andouille sausage, sliced
2 cans (14.5 ounce size) chicken broth
3 teaspoons Cajun spice mix
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 large bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 cup frozen sliced okra
1 cup fresh corn cut from the cob or frozen corn
1 can (14.5 ounce size) peeled, diced tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon gumbo file powder
hot cooked rice (optional)
directions
Place flour in 3 quart heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat, shaking and stirring continuously till flour is the color of peanut butter (about 10 minutes). The flour can be cooked longer if desired to intensify the flavor. Be sure to stir continuously so the flour doesn't burn. Flour roux can be made ahead of time and stored in refrigerator.
Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Cook till tender. Sprinkle flour roux over top and still till blended. Stir in chicken broth all at once, and bring to boil, stirring till thickened. Add sausage and spices. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add okra, tomatoes and corn. Stir and simmer additional 15 minutes. Stir in file powder before serving. Serve on top of scoops of rice, if desired.
cook's notes
Andouille sausage might be found in the refrigerated section of Sam's Club or maybe a local grocery store if you are not so lucky as to live where it is made fresh.

Good recipe. I would agree this recipe works without the okra, especially since we add the file at the end. I substituted another roux recipe for the one given.

This recipe turned out great! I'm a novice cook and it took me forever to chop and mince and slice the vegetables, but the end result was so worth it. I've made this two times in the past two months and I'm making it again tomorrow night. My roommates are normally terrified when I decide to cook, but they look forward to me making gumbo! Thanks for submitting this recipe.

Yummy!! My 16-year-old son said "good cold winter night dinner" (it's in the 90s today). None of my boys knew (or cared, apparently) that they wer eating a bunch of vegetables they don't normally care for (I sub'd canned beets at the end as I didn't have any okra). A little smoked paprika gives it a nice twist.

This was really easy to make, it sounds like a lot of prep work but its worth it! Added a cup of hot cooked rice at the end, and subsituted "file powder" for Chili Powder. Came out Great.

Very easy to make, with great results. I either use some okra or none at all. 1 cup is alot. Use good quality sausage.
