Kabocha Squash and Bacon Simmered In Soup
I love sweet simmered squash myself... But my son doesn't like it.
So I tried simmering it in soup, and it was a success.
The cooking time varies depending on the variety of kabocha squash and how it's cut. It took me 7 to 8 minutes until it was tender this time, plus another 3 minutes to reduce the liquid in the pan. If you don't want to add oil, leave it out. Just cook the kabocha squash in the fat that comes out of the bacon! Recipe by Nanagukun

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the kabocha squash and remove the seeds and fibrous parts. Peel the skin randomly and cut into bite sized pieces. Cut the bacon into 2 cm pieces.
- 2
Heat some oil in a frying pan and cook the bacon over medium heat. When some fat has come out of the bacon add the kabocha squash and continue cooking.
- 3
When everything is coated in fat, add 200 ml of water and the ※ ingredients and being to a boil. Lower the heat, put on a small lid that sits on top of the food (otoshibuta), then cover the frying pan with another lid and simmer.
- 4
When the kabocha squash is tender, take both lids off the pan and add the mirin. Raise the heat and reduce the liquid in the pan.
- 5
When most of the liquid has reduced, it's done.
- 6
I flavored this well since I wanted to use it in a bento. If you prefer a lighter taste, reduce the amount of bouillon used.

Vegetables are expensive! I bought affordable kabocha squash again, but my sons were tired of it, so I tried to use it up in a way that my daughter, who has just started on solid foods, could eat.Don't allow it to boil at all. The salt content in the miso will differ depending on your brand, so start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more if you like. Adults can crack over pepper on top to finish, adding a nice touch.

Lentils and Bacon Soup Lentils and Bacon Soup
The recipe isn't difficult or time-consuming and I prepare this whenever I'm hungry.I posted this because the crispy texture of pan-fried bacon goes very well with the soup.Lentil soup is common in India, but adding bacon was my own idea.・I recommend to thicken the soup. The consistency should be when the soup easily slips off the spoon. Adjust in Step 8 with water.・As the spices are mild, it can be enjoyed by anyone.・A healthy soup with lots of lentils and a little oil. Recipe by Plabar -
Dump & Simmer Lentil Soup with Bacon Dump & Simmer Lentil Soup with Bacon
It's hard to think of a more efficient and versatile dish than a hearty, rustic soup.You can throw all your old veg in the pot along with other stuff from almost all your other basic food groups, bring it to a boil, bring it down to a simmer, walk away, forget it for 45 minutes to an hour, enjoy the delicious aromas while its simmering, and come back to a completely balanced one dish meal.And lentils, unlike most other pulses or legumes, don't have to be soaked, either. So a hearty, rustic, lentil soup is about as easy and efficient as it gets.Plus they're a great source of protein, fiber, and several essential minerals. Not to mention they're inexpensive.

Japanese-style Chinese Cabbage, Bacon and Soy Milk Soup Japanese-style Chinese Cabbage, Bacon and Soy Milk Soup
I made this soup because I love soy milk, and I had leftover Chinese cabbage. It's also delicious if you use wiener sausage instead of bacon. If you like, it's tasty with grated ginger added too!Stir-fry the Chinese cabbage and enoki mushrooms well and they will become creamy and mild. After adding the soy milk, adjust the flavor by gradually adding a little salt or soy sauce (or mentsuyu). I strongly recommend sprinkling the green onions and pepper at the end, because the soup will taste even better! Add ginger to taste. Recipe by Yuripi0309 -
