Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method 
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 
1 tablespoon butter 
2 leeks (about 3/4 pound), cleaned and sliced (white and light green parts only) 
2 carrots, diced 
1 stalk celery, diced 
2 (1/2-pound) baking potatoes, peeled and diced 
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth 
1 cup water 
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
1 (10-ounce) package frozen corn kernels, thawed
Melt the butter in a non-stick Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then add the leeks, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, until the leeks are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, broth water, thyme, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. 
Add corn and simmer, covered, about 2 minutes. Mash lightly with a potato masher to break up the potatoes.
