• Shred the cheese and add to the pot. Stir until the cheese is melted.
• Reduce heat to low and add the milk and chipotle.
• In a seperate bowl mix the cornstarch and cold water with a whisk until smooth. Pour mixture into the pot and stir. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.

CHIPOTLE CHEESE POTATO SOUP (WITH FRESH SUMMER CORN)

Steps:

• Heat a stockpot over med-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp, remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate lined with paper towels, leaving bacon grease in stockpot.
• Reduce heat to medium, add onions. Cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over onions and cook, stirring constantly, about another minute (this will remove the "raw" flour taste).
• Slowly pour in chicken stock, whisking constantly until smooth. Add potatoes, bring to a boil then simmer until potatoes are very soft (15-30 minutes, depending on size of potatoes).
• Using a potato masher or something similar, crush potatoes to thicken soup, leaving some chunks but allowing some to "melt" into the soup. Stir in cheese until melted and smooth. Add milk, adobo sauce (to taste), TABASCO Chipotle Pepper Sauce and fresh corn; bring back to a simmer and cook for an additional 10 minutes until very hot.
• Season well with salt and pepper (this is IMPORTANT). Ladle into bowls and top each as desired.
