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.
