you can use more broth or add the roux a little at a time until you get to the right consistancy. (this would be the prefered method)


it looks like yoiu went all in from the beginning. always add the roux a little at a time, (like 1/4 of your total). then let the gumbo come back to a boil and check it.

if you need more roux, add another portion and so on until you are either all in or you have the right consistancy.

Gumbo should be thicker than soup but not as thick as chowder.

One thing at a time Elder. getting roux dark without burning it is a real trick and takes some practice.

This is the hardest part of cajun cooking IMOH.
