4 cups fresh corn kernels, cut and scraped from 5 or 6 ears of corn, or approximately 2 10-ounce packages of frozen corn kernels, thawed
Combine corn and 1 cup of the milk in a blender. Puree at high speed until smooth; set aside.
In a heavy, 3-quart nonreactive stock pot, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly. Add the corn puree and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the remaining 3-1/2 cups milk and the salt; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 15 minutes, stirring to avoid sticking.
In each of 6 warm soup bowls, put 1 tbsp. each of the diced chilies and shredded cheese. Ladle the hot soup into the bowls and garnish with a few tortilla strips.
