3 T flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
6 c chicken broth
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
¾ c sliced celery

2 c quartered baby red potatoes

Add the broth, then turn up the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a boil. Add the mushrooms, celery, carrots, potatoes, corn, and thyme. Put on low hear and simmer the soup, covered, until the vegetables are tender (about 30 minutes).
