Blue Runner Creole Jambalaya Base 25oz

As a native New Orleanian living out of state, I truly appreciate Blue Runner's canned gumbo base. It has a deep roux which saves me time at the stove, and it's as close to authentic as I've been able to find. We've gifted it to other family & friends who are now believers also. Great product - Bon Appetit.

I've used all of their products for years. This 6 pack of gumbo was sent as a gift.

To make jumbo, we use this and add canned okra and tomatoes and then smoked sausage, shrimp, and chicken. We put boiled rice in the mixture. It makes a wonderful meal with leftovers for the week ahead.

This was scrumptious! Flavors are on point. We added okra and more onion. Shrimp and lump crab, then served over rice. It's amazing! It's not your mother's gumbo, but it's close!

Good base!

You brought NOLA to NJ. Great products enjoy everything you make

Extremely Flavorful. This is just what it says on the can, a base. You must add your seasonings or it will be bland. I added celery, red and green peppers, onion, lots of garlic, seasoned Andouille and ground sausage. I also added chicken powder, hatch chilies, and mild chilis, and some salt. This was way faster than my gumbo from scratch and way better than Zatarains gumbo base. I made the mistake of putting a top on it while simmering (I knew better) and it thinned it out. So I drew some pot liquor out, added 1/4 cup of cornstarch and stirred well, and return to the pot to thicken. I also added shrimp crabmeat, and chicken breast. This was done in 90 minutes. My gumbo from scratch typically takes 4 hours. Since this was good, I'm going back to the store for the bisque to make a lobster and crab bisque.

Blue Runner Creole Gumbo is a great base. I started with sautéed onion garlic green and red bell pepper. I sautéed chicken and smokey sausage. All bite size pieces. Add some chicken broth. Then finish with adding the Blue Runner base. So good.

I have made gumbo for years. This cuts it by hours because you don't have to make the roux. Pour this into your sauted celery & onions and add your seafood, okra, and sausage and you are ready to go. My husband can't taste the difference.

Four out of six cans were extremely dented
