Over medium heat, heat a large soup pot for 1 minute before adding bacon; cook bacon until browned; remove bacon, leaving behind the drippings.
Melt the butter in the bacon drippings; add onion and celery; cook over low heat for 7-10 minutes until the vegetables are softened and wilted, but not browned; add coriander and cumin.
Add hot chicken stock to the vegetables in the pot; return to a boil; reduce to a simmer before adding the reserved corn cobs; cook 30 - 35 minutes; remove and discard corn cobs. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup in the pot before adding the cream, maintaining a simmer.
To the chowder, add the cut roasted corn kernels and the bacon; simmer 5-8 minutes before stirring in the grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve immediately with sliced scallions on top.
4-6 servings.
