PUMPKIN, CORN, AND LEMONGRASS SOUP



Pumpkin, Corn, and Lemongrass Soup image

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.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 fresh lemongrass stalk, root end trimmed and 1 or 2 outer layers discarded
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 3/4 pounds kabocha or butternut squash
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (10 ounces; from 2 to 3 ears)
5 cups water
Garnish: cilantro leaves

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.

SWEET POTATO AND LEMONGRASS SOUP



Sweet Potato and Lemongrass Soup image

I found this recipe online in an article about a Philadelphia restaurant and tried it out at home. I wasn't overawed by it, but love the flavors, so I decided to play around with it a bit. By the third batch I had hit gold.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 inches piece gingerroot, peeled and minced, I freeze my gingeroot and then grate it on a Microplane, it's the best
1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and minced
4 garlic cloves, minced (I just smash it with the broad side of a knife)
3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
6 cups water (this makes a thick soup, use 7 cups if you like it thinner)
10 stalks lemongrass, outer dry leaves removed and bulblike base crushed (again, the broad side of a knife works wonderfully here)
7 ounces coconut milk
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In large, heavy soup pot, heat the oil medium-hot and saute the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the ginger, jalapeno and garlic and saute 2 minutes more.
  • Add the sweet potato and water. It should be just enough water to cover the sweet potatoes.
  • Tie the lemongrass stalks together with string and put the bulb/base ends into the soup.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until the potatoes break apart, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Discard the lemongrass stalks. P.
  • uree the soup -- I use an immersion blender right in the pot, or you could do this in batches in the food processor or blender.
  • Strain the soup through a fine sieve (I didn't even bother with this step).
  • Stir in the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper.

Salt and pepper
200 g creme fraiche
A handful of coriander leaves

Liquidize the soup and push the mixture through a sieve into a clean saucepan. Season to taste and stir in half the creme fraiche. 4.

Tips

  • Use fresh ingredients, especially for the corn and lemongrass. Freshness will bring out the best flavors.
  • Don't overcook the corn. You want it to retain a slight crunch.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. It will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • If you don't have lemongrass, you can substitute a similar citrusy flavor, such as lemon zest or ginger.

  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil.
