PUMPKIN, CORN, AND LEMONGRASS SOUP
Soups with anything but a broth base are a rarity in Chinese and Japanese households, but corn soups and pumpkin soups-favored Western imports-are the exception. (And any orange-fleshed squash might be called a "pumpkin.") Here, food editor Lillian Chou combines the two and gives them a boost of bracing freshness with lemongrass and cilantro; the result is velvety and light.

Tips:
- To easily peel and cube the butternut squash, first cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp. Then, place the squash cut-side down on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully peel the skin off. Once peeled, cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
- If you don't have any fresh corn on the cob, you can use frozen corn kernels instead. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- To make the soup creamier, you can add a cup of heavy cream or coconut milk at the end of cooking.
- For a vegan version of this soup, omit the butter and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of chopped fresh cilantro, and a side of crusty bread or crackers.
