Add oil to the pan. Add celery, leek, salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add broth, potatoes and corn. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the potatoes are just tender and the corn is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in tilapia and thyme; return to a gentle simmer.

Was the soup supposed to come out so thin? I was expecting the starch from the potatoes to thicken it some. Other than consistency, this soup was satisfying and delicious.
