"Cooking with friends — that's pretty much what my life has been about," writes Louise Pickerel of Muskogee, Oklahoma. "When I moved here from Texas ten years ago, it was hard to leave the people I'd known for so long, but I've probably met two hundred new people since then. I have always entertained, but now that I'm retired, I finally have more time to play bridge and cook."
Louise likes to serve this chunky soup with ham or roast beef sandwich wraps.

Preparation
Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add potato, celery, onion, and thyme. Sauté 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over; stir 1 minute. Gradually mix in vegetable broth. Add creamed corn, frozen corn, and frozen vegetables and bring soup to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Add grated cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Mix in hot pepper sauce; season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle with chopped parsley.
