Instructions: Brown flour in oil until golden or darker. Add onions, celery and garlic and simmer for five minutes, stirring constantly. (Might need to add a little water.) Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper, file, okra, worcestershire, cayenne and meats. Be careful with cayenne. It can become hot in a hurry! Simmer for several hours. Serve in soup bowls over steamed rice.
