Steps:
- Remove the kernels from the ears of corn and set aside.
- Place the 4 stripped corn cobs in 6 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, then remove.
- In a skillet, heat a few glugs of olive oil. Add the chopped scallions and green chiles and sauté. Add 1/4 cup cornmeal and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes.
- Add the scallion-and-chili mixture to broth along with the corn kernels and 2 chopped potatoes. Cook until soft. Garnish with crema or sour cream, if you'd like, and the sliced scallions.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and ripe green chiles for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh chiles, you can use canned or frozen chiles, but the flavor will be less intense.
- To remove the seeds from the chiles, cut them in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. Rinse the chiles well under cold water to remove any remaining seeds.
- If you want a spicier soup, you can add more chiles or use hotter peppers. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to taste.
- To make the soup thicker, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the soup and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the soup has thickened.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as shredded chicken, cheese, sour cream, or avocado.

Chileatole is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
