Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ¼ medium sweet onion, minced
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 small knob, ginger, minced
    • 1/6 medium kabocha, peeled and cut into cubes
    • 3 cups (750 ml) vegetable stock
    • 4 ears corn, sliced off from cobs
    • 2 tablespoons Saikyo miso (sweet white miso)
    • 1 tablespoon shio-koji (can be substituted with 1 teaspoon salt)

      Procedure

      1. In "Miso-shiru Nabe", heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger over medium heat until the onion is very soft (about 5 minutes). Add the kabocha and sauté for 1 minute.

      2. Add the vegetable stock. Turn the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to simmer.
      3. Add all the corn except for 1 cup (240 ml). Simmer until the kabocha is cooked through (about 5 minutes). Turn off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes.
      4. Transfer the content to a blender.  Add the miso, shio-koji, and some white pepper. Blend until smooth.

      5. Transfer the blended mixture back to "Miso-shiru Nabe". Add the remaining corn and bring to simmer over medium-heat. Simmer for a few minutes.

      6. Serve into individual soup bowls and with some drizzle of fine olive oil and sprinkle of white pepper.

      Serving suggestion: Garnish with tender asparagus.
