2 vegetable bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon paprika

Melt buttery spread in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion; cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until onion is tender.
Add water, potatoes, corn, chilies, bouillon, paprika and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
