      4 c  Chicken broth
  1 1/2 lb Potatoes; peeled; diced 1"

    1/2 c  Milk or half-and-half
     27 oz Can mild green chiles;

  In a large soup pot, melt the butter over low heat Add the carrots &
  onion--cook, covered, stirring once or twice, for 20 minutes. Stir in
  the pottoes, chicken broth, cayenne pepper & calt--bring to a boil.
  Lower the heat, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 40
  minutes until the pottoes and carrots are very tender. Cool slightly;
  then strain the soup, saving the liquid. Place the solids in a food
  processor and process briefly. Add 1 cup of the reserved liquid and
  blend until smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the
  bowl. Return the puree and the rest of the reserved liquid to the
  soup pot. Set it over low heat and mix in the corn, chiles, and milk.
  Bring to a simmer, taste for seasoning. Thin with some milk if
  needed--then simmer,s tirring often, for 5 minutes. Mix together the
  grated cheeses in a bowl. Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle each
  portion with about 1/3 cup of the mixed cheeses--and serve.
