• 1/4 cup flour or 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 cups water
• 4 cups fat free milk
• 1 large celery rib, chopped
• 1/2 medium chopped onion
• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 2 chicken bouillons
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• Pinch of powdered thyme
• 10 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, corn or any    any combination of your choice)
• 2 yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed small
• 1 pound (about 3 cups) cooked chicken breast, diced small
• Salt to taste

Combine 1/2 cup of the cold water with flour or cornstarch in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Set aside.

Pour remaining water and milk into a large pot and slowly bring to a boil. Add celery, onion, mushrooms, chicken bullion, thyme, fresh pepper, frozen vegetables and return to a boil. Partially cover and simmer on low until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes.

Remove lid, add potatoes and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, and slowly whisk in slurry, stirring well as you add. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes, until soup thickens. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
