Melt butter in a big saucepan then add onions and celery.  Cook until veggies are tender, but not brown.  Add flour and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring so flour doesn't burn (Do not brown.)  Add broth and mix well (it works best to start with adding a little broth and wisk together, slowly adding the rest of the broth.)  Add the potatoes and simmer for about 20 minutes or until veggies are tender.  Add corn and sausage and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.  Stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper.  Add liquid smoke to taste.
