ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups water
2 cans (14.5 ounce size) cajun-style stewed tomatoes
2 cans (14.5 ounce size) diced peeled tomatoes
1 can (6 ounce size) tomato paste
2 packages (16 ounce size) frozen whole kernel corn
3 cups cubed cooked ham
1 1/2 pound fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste

directions

In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat vegetable oil. Saute onion, green pepper and green onions until tender, about 5 minutes.

Using a wire mesh strainer, slowly shake flour into onion/pepper mixture while stirring frequently, until bubbly. Have water handy and ready to add slowly, a little at a time, while still stirring until mixture is thickened and bubbly.

Add stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes and tomato paste; mix well. Stir in corn, ham and sausage. Season with cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.

Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water if necessary to maintain a slightly thick consistency, like a stew.
