Trying to attach...hope it works

Tips/Hints:

The gumbo turns out quite soupy, if you prefer a thicker sauce reduce the water and stock paste. If you like it spicy add some chilli powder with the other spices, I thought it needed a kick but left out chilli for DD.

I adapted this recipe from one on taste.com.au http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/28907/chicken+chorizo+gumbo and some of the method is stolen from maddy's Chorizo & Capsicum Risotto
