Stomp Swamp Gumbo

saute up chicken pieces until white in some olive oil
use a lid to keep in moisture but stir frequently
add cut up link sausage 
fry until fully cooked 
remove from pan leaving the drippings
Add chopped up celery & onions in drippings
saute until soft
remove leaving the drippings & whatever is stuck to bottom of pan 
add some more oil if not runny
add flour & mix until a dough like consistency 
& that's your roux, like when you make gravy
 If your using a pan like me move the roux to a bigger pot 
slowly add a can of beer stirring out the lumps for a smooth gravy like consistency
add another beer & a can of chicken broth 
now that you have your soup add
a can of diced tomatoes 
a can of  diced tomatoes with chillies (rotel)
couple handfuls of brown rice
okra & the sauteed  celery & onion from earlier
boil until rice is soft 
while waiting on rice add Cajun seasoning & thyme to taste
stirring in a little at a time so not to over do it
 OK now that's your rice is soft 
add the chicken & sausage from earlier
simmer up until blended
then add the shrimp 
cook until shrimp is red & cooked 
Now you have some thick & rich
Swamp Stomp Gumbo 
Enjoy!!!
