Potato and Corn Chowder

Last night I made soup and this is approximately what happened: 

 6-8 med Potatoes 

1 can Corn 

2 large carrots 

1/4 cup onion 

1 tsp. garlic 

3 bay leaves 

9 cups veggie "chicken style" stock 

1 crown of broccoli 

1 whole Anaheim chili 

about a cup of soy milk 

1 tsp dried Thyme 

loads of freshly ground pepper. 

 I boiled potatoes and carrots first, drain water and measure in 9 cups of fresh water. Then add the rest of the ingredients except the soymilk, thyme and pepper until it's almost done. I like adding things in stages according to how long they need to cook, so potatoes and carrots together, onion, chili, garlic together, broccoli last...then the seasonings.
