Char the red pepper and poblano chili over a gas flame. Peel, seed and chop without rinsing.
Peel the tomatoes by dropping them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and remove the skins. Chop the tomatoes, reserving the seeds and juice.
Blanche the corn for three mintues and when it has cooled, cut off the kernels with a bread knife. Reserve the kernels and the cobs.
Saute the onions, garlic and leek in the olive oil until soft but not browned (about five minutes). Add the remaining ingredients (including the cobs) except for the corn kernels, pepper and Tobasco. Simmer for one hour.
Remove and discard corn cobs and thyme. Blend the remaining ingredients until smooth in a food processor. Bring to simmer and season. If necessary, thin the soup with a little milk. Chill if serving cold.
