 celery, and the bell pepper.  Remove all the celery
 leaves from the top of the bunch, rinse well, and chop
 them too.  Saute the onion in a little oil. Add the
 celery, with leaves, and after a few mins., the bell

 pan, and saute another minute. Remove the carrot,
 vegetable pieces, and the bay leaves from the stock.

 stock, and stir well, adding more water if necessary.
 Let simmer about 10 mins. Chop the okra and stir in
 with the frozen corn; simmer another 10 mins. Adjust
 the spices to taste, and serve, ideally with cornbread.
