Instructions
- In a heavy large pot, melt butter (2 tablespoons) over medium heat.
- Add onions, sauté until softened (about 3 minutes).
- Add potatoes, kosher salt (1 teaspoon), frozen corn, and chicken broth (5 cups). Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low for a bout 20 minutes (or until potatoes are tender).
- Ladle out about 1.5 cups of hot broth from the pot into a small bowl or pyrex measuring cup and whisk the masa (1/3 cup) into it, forming a thick paste. It's OK if there are little pieces of corn or onion in it.
- Add masa paste back to the soup and stir to incorporate.
- Add the green chiles and heavy cream (1 cup) to the soup and stir.
- Serve with crumbled queso fresco and chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
