Puree all the corn with the chicken broth in a blender, add to onions and simmer 20 minutes.
Add the rest of ingredients and stir until cheese melts, simmer about 10 minutes.
Adjust seasoning to taste.

Note:
I will often buy whole milk for this recipe, but will also mix some half and half into non-fat milk. It would probably be fine with just the lower fat milk, but not as rich.
