Soak the ancho chilies in hot water for 1 hour or in tap water over night. Drain well and remove the stems and seeds. Chop.
Blend with vinegar and strain. Add all the other ingredients and blend well. The oils can be added at the start.
If you want a little more kick add some crushed red chilies or cayenne pepper.
Twist: Used on pasta salad or greens of choice. For added heartiness, add chicken or beef.

Even though traditional Gumbo has okra in it, we omit it at our house because, to be honest, I would be the only one eating it!
So here is our Northern and Kid friendly Version

Put butter into a small to medium sized skillet on medium high heat. When the butter is melted add 1/2 c flour (I used gluten free). stir frequently, until the roux is browned and thickened. MUST WATCH not to burn. When thickened, add to stock pot.
Vegetables & Meat
In a larger skillet: Use 1 T Green chile Olive oil to saute: (veggies first, then meat). When veggies are done (onions translucent and others tender) add them to the stock pot. To your pan add a little more oil, cook chicken until no longer pink, add to pot. I used a sealed bag and added a couple Tablespoons of Fresco Elite 8, salt & pepper and tossed chicken until coated, then added to the warmed oil. I did the same with the shrimp. Cook shrimp and add to pot. (I switched up to Red Cayenne Oil for the Shrimp, because I added them to my husband's and my bowl instead of the stock pot-- the kids think it's too hot!) Just sear the sausage, and add to stock pot.
Herb Blends
Add to taste.
