Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add chopped vegetables (plantains, yuca, potatoes, and carrots) to the pot.

Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Add the soaked codfish to the pot and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Stir in chopped cilantro, lime juice, and season with black pepper, bay leaves, and thyme.

Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
