The peak season for tasty burdock root is late fall to early winter. Winter potatoes are also delicious, so I came up with a soup combining the two. I coined the word "nagomi" from the Chinese characters for "wa" (Japanese) and "mi" (taste). It refers to comfort food--the taste of Japanese style food, Showa Era cuisine, and my mother's homemade food.To prepare the vegetables:Thinly slice the burdock root, soak in vinegar water, then rinse with water.Cut the potato into 5- to 7-mm slices and soak in water.Thinly slice the onion along the grain.

Kabocha is a Japanese pumpkin which is similar in taste & texture to butternut squash.Both hot & cold soup are amazing with this recipe!This is my mom's recipe! The squash / potato soup were one of our family’s favorite, especially for summer when I was a kid.Of course, using butternut is also OK. Stir-fry onion well to make it sweeter and stew well in low heat to make it milder. Next day the taste becomes even richer just like a stew!

I thought of writing up this recipe when I had a similar soup at an Italian restaurant.It's easy, delicious, and looks fancy, so this is a great dish to serve when you have your friends over!When you are using consomme cubes, 2 cubes will be enough. Freshly ground pepper tastes much better. Since my family loves spicy food, I turn the pepper mill about 20 times to add plenty of pepper. Recipe by asase

Kabocha squash reinforces mucous membranes, and it is effective against hay fever as well.I made a habit of drinking this in the winter, and it prevented me from catching a cold.Adjust the amount of milk to your liking.After adding the milk, simmer over low heat while stirring. If the heat is high, the mixture will start burning from the bottom of the pot, and it will separate, so be careful.If you don't care about the colour, cook the kabocha squash with the skin on.

It has a mild yet very savory taste.-Take care not to boil the soup after adding the soy milk and heavy cream in Step 6. Recipe by Sabao

Every year in the summertime, we receive a lot of corn as gifts from acquaintances. But I'm not very fond of the texture of the corn kernels, so I always end up making corn potage soup with it. When corn is not in season, I use store bought corn paste instead of fresh corn, but the intensity of the color, flavor, and sweetness is just not the same!!Use corn as soon as possible after picking. Any more than 3 days after harvest, and the flavor is not so good anymore. What we do at my house is to at boil all the fresh corn cobs, wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. Alternatively you can remove the kernels and freeze. This year we received 22 ears of corn! We add potatoes only when we've got some that need to be used up, the soup is fine with out them too.
