Steps:

• Sauté the onion and celery: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, abut 5-8 minutes.
• Melt the butter in the pan and sprinkle with flour. Stir or whisk to combine until vegetables are coated. Cook for a few minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
• Turn the heat to high. Add in broth, milk, potatoes, jalapeños, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika. Bring this to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cover. Cook for ~8-10 minutes or until potatoes are tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom of your pot.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock and white wine to a boil with the garlic and thyme. Add the clams, bring back to a boil, cover, and steam until the clams are just opened, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain the liquid into a bowl and discard any unopened clams. Remove the clams from their shells and set aside.
• In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter. Saute the onion, leek, carrot, and celery over moderate heat, until al dente, about 10minutes. Pour in the clam liquid and bring to a boil. Add the corncobs and the corn kernels, reserving 1 cup of kernels for garnish. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove the cobs and strain the soup into a clean saucepan. Transfer the strained vegetables to a blender or food processor, pour in the cream, and process until pureed, still retaining a little texture. Stir back into the soup and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, add the reserved clams, and simmer for 1 minute. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
• While the soup is cooking, prepare the jalapeno cream. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients, seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
• Ladle the soup into heated bowls, making sure that there are clams in each bowl. Spoon a little of the jalapeno cream in the center, passing the remaining cream in a small bowl. Garnish with the reserved 1 cop corn kernels and serve immediately.
