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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 medium white onion, diced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 fresh ginger, 3 in (7 cm) peeled and grated
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons sriracha
2 cans unsweetened pumpkin puree
2 ½ cups vegetable stock
1 can full-fat coconut milk, 13.5 ounce can (380 grams) room temperature
1 lime, juiced
⅓ cup pepitas, toasted
1 can coconut cream, 13.5 ounce can (380 grams), chilled
1 lime, zested
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, packed, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onion and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until the onions are translucent and softened.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and jalapeño. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant and softened.

Using an immersion blender, blend until the cilantro is completely broken down and the coconut cream turns pale green in color. Chill the cilantro cream in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Remove the soup from heat and stir in the coconut milk. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until completely smooth. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt. Stir in the lime juice. Season to taste with more salt, if needed.
