Stir okra, celery and onion into the stock, followed by the chicken, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and gumbo is thickened. 6. Add the sausages and spring onions, season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 7. Serve with Cajun rice in large soup bowls, adding hot chilli sauce to taste.
