I always make vegetable potage.Today, I made it with eggplant.Of all the vegetable potage soups I have made, this is the most delicious. It's mild and tasty.Eggplant can be used in a surprising number of ways.The photo shows the soup topped with eggplant peel, which was coated in oil and baked in an oven. Recipe by Nanairo

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

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.

I wanted to make potato potage soup for my family.To shorten the time, I cut the potato finely and microwaved it. There's nothing difficult about this recipe, really. Recipe by keromido

It's new potatoes season so I wanted to make soup.Mix well when heating to prevent burning. Mind you don't let it boil too much. New potatoes have 8 times the amount of vitamin C as apples, and the vitamin C content can stand strong heat, making them a good source of nutrients. Recipe by Ringonoki

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 began using soy milk after developing a milk allergy. It's great even with soy milk.Increase the amount of soy milk to taste. If you add more water, it will become weak. You could also use regular milk. Recipe by makisora

I was given carrots.If you boil the soup too much, it will not turn out as sweet! Recipe by Silvy1978

I came up with a delicious way to eat plenty of kohlrabi as we enter this cold season.Substitute the shiro dashi with consommé or Chinese soup stock. Or, for those who are worried about salt intake, reduce the amount of shiro dashi, and dilute with soy milk or regular milk! Add ginger for a nice warming touch. You could also use other vegetables besides kohlrabi, such as daikon radish, broccoli, potatoes, or kabocha squash. Recipe by mmooaatt

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.
