1. Prepare the Roux
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Gradually stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 15-20 minutes, until the roux is a deep brown color.

Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the roux. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
3. Add Liquids and Seasonings
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, stirring continuously. Add the Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
