1. Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, bell pepper, celery, thyme, and bay leaf. Cook 5 minutes until softened.
2. Stir in cornstarch, then add corn kernels and diced potato. Mix well.
3. Add water, cream, Yondu Vegetable Umami, and Yondu Spicy. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
