Corn Potage Soup Made With Fresh Corn
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. Recipe by Ayako

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Use the freshest corn possible. Take off only the dirty outer layer of shucks, rinse with water, and cut off the the silky tips.
- 2
Put the unshucked corn into a pot, and fill about 2 cm deep with water. It's fine if the water doesn't cover the corn. Put a lid on the pan, and boil for about 10 minutes total from the time you turn on the heat.
- 3
Once it's boiled, shuck the corn under cold, running water. It's boiled tender.
- 4
Method 1 - How to remove the kernels with a spoon or the like: I have this odd-shaped spoon that I find easiest to use, so this is how I do it.
- 5
I actually remove the kernels one row at a time. Insert the spoon or similar utensil firmly between the kernels, and use it like a lever to cleanly remove the kernels.
- 6
Remove the kernels row by row until you've gone around the whole ear of corn. It takes some time, but you get all the kernels out nicely this way.
- 7
Method 2 - How to remove the kernels with a knife: As with Method 1, insert the knife firmly between the rows of kernels and use it like a lever to remove the kernels. Remove all the kernels, one row at a time.
- 8
This method doesn't get the kernels out quite as cleanly as the first method, but it's faster. If you're using a lot of corn, I recommend doing it this way.
- 9
Finally, we're ready to begin making the potage! Cut the onions and potatoes into thin slices.
- 10
Turn the heat on beneath your soup pot, and melt the butter. Add the onions and cook until soft. Then add the potatoes and corn.
- 11
After sauteing for 2 or 3 minutes, add 200ml (about 1 cup) of water and the consomme. Put a lid on the pot and simmer for 10 minutes.
- 12
Next, allow the mixture to cool, and then process it in a blender for about a minute, or until smooth.
- 13
Return the mixture to the pot. It's actually smooth enough now as is, but the texture is still a little grainy. If you would like an even smoother texture, please strain the mixture.
- 14
Turn the heat back on, add the milk and cream, adjust the flavor by adding some salt and pepper to taste, and it's done!
- 15
I always use these garlic cheese croutons, posted by Mimato,. They're so good!!

Burdock Potage Soup Burdock Potage Soup
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.
