For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning and red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. Gumbo filé powder adds a unique flavor and thickens the gumbo; use sparingly until you achieve your desired consistency. Leftovers taste even better the next day!
