I make it frequently. Make a good roux in a seperate pot with flour and a combo of butter and oil. Take it to a good peanut butter color. Add the trinity (onion, green pepper, celery) and garlic, and saute' until soft. Add the roux to the veggies, stir together, then add chicken stock. Add creole seasoning. Add diced tomatoes, cut okra, andouille sausage and chicken or shrimp and rice and simmer for an hour or so until thickened. If you do shrimp, don't add it until there is about 15 minutes of cooking left. Enjoy
