directions

Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Heat milk in a saucepan. Add bay leaf, thyme, marjoram, and peppercorns. Just before milk comes to a boil, add the onions, remove the heat and cover.
In a food processor, puree the chilies, tomatillos, and 2 boxes of the corn.

Pour the soup into individual bowls over cubes of cheddar cheese. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with warm crusty bread.
