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
pepper. Sprinkle generous amounts of the spices in the
pan, and saute another minute. Remove the carrot,
vegetable pieces, and the bay leaves from the stock.
Add the onion mixture and chopped tomatoes to the
stock, and stir well, adding more water if necessary.

with the frozen corn; simmer another 10 mins. Adjust
the spices to taste, and serve, ideally with cornbread.
