I made a half portion of this and used regular milk. I added the celery and potato at the same time, simmered it for a while then blitzed it before adding the corn and precooked prawns that I had defrosted. I then let it simmer for a bit longer until everything was hot. Such a quick dinner and I was using celery and potato that needed to be used up.
