A bold, southern-style soup with chunks of fish, tomatoes, okra, and Creole spices. It’s comforting, spicy, and full of flavor — a taste of Louisiana in every bowl.

• 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon celery salt 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 bay leaves
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 pound fresh or frozen cod, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

Directions
