Cut the chiles open, remove the seeds and veins. Chop coarsely and reserve. 2. In a large heavy saucepan, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the potato, water, parsley, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the potato is very tender, about 15 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook the corn until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and reserve. 4. When the potato is done, transfer the contents of the saucepan to a blender or food processor. Add the reserved chiles, cream, and salt. Purée until smooth. Return the soup to the saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, to prevent scorching. Divide the soup among 4 soup bowls.
