What are you're talking about? That looks like a normal gumbo to me.

congrats on the chicken soup

I have never heard of roasting your stock ingredients prior to boiling them or the other prep work you did on you chicken.
I do this 90% of the time when making gumbo & every time for competitions.....adds a huge depth of flavor IMO
Great job on your gumbo!!

A lot of people prefer a thinner gumbo. It is just a matter of preference. I find that a lot of people who make thicker gumbos do not make a really dark roux which results in a thicker gumbo or they use so much roux to stock that the roux flavor overpowers everything else.

When the word itself means okra, yes.

Who the frick cares? It does not have to have okra to be a gumbo.

Congrats!!
Looks delicious. My brother made some gumbo last weekend, I should have taken a few picks. It had just about the same color/consistency.
Might be time to bump up your homeowners coverage!
