Place chicken in large saucepan & fill with water until the chicken is 1/2 covered. Add celery & salt. Cook until chicken is tender. Place reamining vegetables except corn in large saucepan; add tomato juice & enough water to cover. Cook over low heat. When chicken is done, remove & cut into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken, broth, seasonings & corn to vegetables & continue to simmer; stir occasionally to prevent sticking.~~When Dinnerbells Ring
