I made this recipe when my daughter did not eat any vegetables, but she ate them in soup. I wanted to use lots of vegetables!

Be careful not to add too much white pepper, otherwise it will have a Chinese-like taste.
Black pepper has better warming properties than white pepper. Recipe by moriam. (20 cm diameter pan.)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put all the vegetables in a pot in the order listed.

  2. 2

    Cut the kabocha squash into big pieces and layer them on top of the vegetables. (Since the kabocha squash can be used for other dishes, I steam more than necessary. With this size, I can adjust how the kabocha squash are cooked through.)

  3. 3

    After layering the ingredients in the pot in the order listed, then covering them with water, bring to a boil on medium heat. Reduce to low heat after it comes to a boil and let sit for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    When the vegetables are cooked through and the Japanese barnyard millet becomes soft, add all ○ ingredients and warm it up. (Make sure not to bring it to a boil, since the soy milk will become clumpy!)

  5. 5

    Take out 4 pieces of kabocha squash and some of your favorite vegetables out of the pot and set aside.

  6. 6

    In a mixer, blend all the other ingredients left in the pot (the ones kids tend to dislike) to a potage. (I steamed the excess kabocha squash to use for a dessert dish.)

  7. 7

    Cut the vegetables your kids like to eat into bite-sized pieces and place them in the soup when serving. Then it is ready!

  8. 8

    Use the reserved kabocha squash to make a kabocha squash salad or a Kabocha Pudding: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/en/recipes/155170-easy-macrobiotic-kabocha-squash-pudding . You can use it for many other dishes!
