I made a big pot last night a little more liquid than my normal batch. Today it's not as thick as I would like it. I have some instant powder roux on hand . Is adding this while simmering my best option . TIA

get it boiling and add about a cup of corn starch.

I wouldn't add the powdered flour.
You can simmer it a bit uncovered to reduce it.
You can make some additional roux and add it.
You can buy a jar of roux, warm it up and add that to simmering gumbo.

Roux is the best way, but you can use corn starch too. Just be careful. Don't use a lot at a time, or it will taste like a bland mess.

Okra! :)
Make a batch of roux that is 2 parts flour to 1 part oil. Add it in and simmer for a while, uncovered.

Just added another full cup of roux to the simmering pot and we shall see. Either way it's feeding 20 folks tonight. Thanks for the replies

Mix flour and water, wisk out all the lumps. Add to gumbo. You're welcome. I do this almost daily.

My mother puts flour, water and some ice in a mason jar and shakes it. Gets rid of the lumps.

My mom always makes a slurry with the gumbo juice and flour. Just whisk until the lumps are gone and add to pot.

This is what I would do.

Just an update. I added a cup of warm roux to the simmering pot and within 30-40 minutes it smoother out perfectly. What's left will feed us tonight before we enter the Valley......
