In a very large pot, saute the onion and coriander in the olive oil and butter over moderate heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the wine and cook until the liquid has evaporated a little, about 5 minutes. Add the corn, chicken stock and cream; bring to a boil over high heat; lower heat slightly and cook at a fast simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tomatoes and basil and cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
