Sprinkle the flour over your veggies and mix it all up. Gradually pour in the milk and water, stirring the whole time. Let it boil and stir till it thickens, about 2 minutes.

Throw in your potato chunks, sweet corn, bouillon, and some black pepper. Lower the heat and, with no lid on, let it cook for around 20 minutes till the potatoes are soft.
