PUMPKIN, CORN, AND LEMONGRASS SOUP
Soups with anything but a broth base are a rarity in Chinese and Japanese households, but corn soups and pumpkin soups-favored Western imports-are the exception. (And any orange-fleshed squash might be called a "pumpkin.") Here, food editor Lillian Chou combines the two and gives them a boost of bracing freshness with lemongrass and cilantro; the result is velvety and light.

Steps:
- Cut off and discard top of lemongrass, leaving a 6-inch stalk, then smash stalk with side of a large heavy knife.
- Cook lemongrass, onion, and 1 teaspoon salt in butter and oil in a heavy medium pot over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 10 minutes. Add squash, corn, water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and discard lemongrass.
- Purée soup in 3 or 4 batches in a blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), straining each batch as blended through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heatproof bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Season with salt and pepper and reheat if necessary.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, which are small and have a sweet, creamy flesh. Avoid using large, carving pumpkins, as they have a stringy texture and bland flavor.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and intensifies its flavor. Cut the pumpkin into small pieces, toss them with olive oil and spices, and roast them in a 400°F oven for 30-45 minutes, or until tender.
- Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this soup, but you can also use frozen or canned corn in a pinch. If using frozen corn, thaw it before adding it to the soup. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it before using.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in this soup should be tender, but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking them will make them mushy and bland.
- Season to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin corn soup is a delicious, hearty, and nutritious soup that is perfect for a fall meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and colorful appearance, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
