- Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the tomatoes, vegetable broth, okra, corn, and seasoning (salt, pepper, cayenne pepper).
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the okra is tender.

- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with the reserved crispy bacon and a squeeze of lime juice (optional).
