Kielbasa in a gumbo is a new one for me
you cant always find andoillie outside of LA and when it absorbs the flavor from the roux it works.

you do realize more than just chicken goes into the gumbo? there's rice, flour, sausage and vegetables as well.
that's enough for 1-2 bowls for everyone and then some.

I dont think $10 is that far off.
assuming you already have oil and flour laying around:
1lb sausauge $3
2lbs worth of chicken thighs $4
Onion, celery, bell peppers: $3-$5
If you make your stock thats free. So I would say $10-$15 is about right for feeding 10-15 people

If you going to put okra in a gumbo you should smother it first. Buy the one that is cut up in the frozen food section in a 2 lb bag, put it in a crock pot, add a small onion diced finely, 3 TBS cooking oil and 3 TBS white vinegar. Cook it on high for 4-5 stirring every half hour or so.
Chicken, I've never made a fried chicken gumbo but I have used on many occasions rotisserie chicken from the supermarket deli.
Look at the method tab for the jambalaya calculator. Do that, when you get to the end instead of adding rice, add some more stock, 1 or 2 TBS file and roux. Stir till its the consistency you like and simmer for 30 minutes or so.

nope...never realized this

1) LOL at counting "flour" as something that fills people up
2) you won't have any veggies with $2 worth of celery, onions and peppers
3) your gumbo must be 90% rice

where are you people shopping?
I, admittedly, have not shopped at WalMart in many years, so can you really get 2 lbs of thighs for $4?
and bell peppers are expensive these days, you will spend almost $5 on just bell peppers

gumbo was originally 'poor man's' food to stretch what little you had laying around the house.
just because a bunch of foodies are on here doesn't mean you still can't whip up a tasty pot of gumbo on the cheap.

Tomatoes are cheep at Wal Mart.

so wait, your costs should be even less. you just like to argue.

It does seem complicated.
People love to pretend gumbo is difficult. Like only a certain few people can make or something.
If you can follow directions, you can do it. Do the roux in the oven, it's fool proof. The rest is easy.

He aint talking shrimp and crab meat. That can run you a crisp $100 for 15 to 20 folks.

the basic ingredients are very normal/common for people to keep around the house likely including the chicken & sausage.
