Steps:
- If using fresh corn, husk and remove all of the corn silk, then cut the kernels from each cob with a sharp knife; transfer to a food processor. Scrape all the remaining corn from the cobs, using the end of a spoon, and add to the rest. There should be between 2 1/2 and 3 cups of corn. Place in the food processor.
- Heat half of the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, 6 or 7 minutes, then stir in the garlic and cook a minute longer. Scrape the mixture into the corn along with the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water. Process until smooth. Melt the remaining butter in a medium-large saucepan set over medium heat. Add the corn puree and stir constantly for several minutes until quite thick.
- Whisk in the milk, turn the heat to medium-low, partly cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring often. Strain through a medium-mesh sieve. Rinse out the pan, return the strained soup to it and stir in the diced chiles poblanos and the cream. Season with salt and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes longer, stirring frequently.
- To serve, thin the soup with additional milk if it is thicker than heavy cream. Ladle into small, warm soup bowls. Garnish with the fresh cheese and chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
