Add celery and carrots, stir until onions are translucent.
Add mushrooms, corn, parsley, tomato paste, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Add veggie stock in half-cup increments, allowing it to come to a simmer before adding more. Add flour, then mix. Continue mixing until the mixture thickens. Once thick, remove from heat and pour into a pie dish.

Mash potatoes then add butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
Spoon potato mixture over the top of the veggies in the pie dish, and smooth so that it is evenly spread.
Optional: using a butter knife or a long, thin spatula. press into potato surface every inch to create a beautiful, undulating presentation.
