Did you make a stock or are you just using water? Is there any roux in the pot?

I don't brown the sausage any more, unless it's a sausage with a lot of fat.
I chop sausage into quarter rolls and just drop it in a little before the chicken.
But that gumbo in the OP does look very light. To each his own.

Yes, but I always add as I go along sometimes.

Nada. If you make a proper roux, that's not necessary.

That bottle of Kitchen Bouquet could darken a shitload of gumbo.

I just don't know. This has been a very trying day on the gumbo front.
No self respectin' gumbo maker puts that stuff in their gumbo to darken it.
