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.

Steps:
- Cut off and discard top of lemongrass, leaving a 6-inch stalk, then smash stalk with side of a large heavy knife.
- Cook lemongrass, onion, and 1 teaspoon salt in butter and oil in a heavy medium pot over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 10 minutes. Add squash, corn, water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and discard lemongrass.
- Purée soup in 3 or 4 batches in a blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), straining each batch as blended through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heatproof bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Season with salt and pepper and reheat if necessary.
LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SOUP
In Chinese cultures, lemongrass and cilantro are considered yin ingredients -- cooling elements that are ideal on hot days. The subtle heat of ginger and chile, combined with the bright aroma of fresh mint, enlivens this lightened rendition of chicken soup.

CAMBODIAN LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SOUP
My Khmer sons both love this soup at our favorite Cambodian restaurant, Chez Sovan, in San Jose, CA. This is my attempt to match the flavors at home. My oldest son's comment on trying the soup was, Mmm so close, make some more! Serve with warm baguette.

Steps:
- Heat the stock over medium heat. Trim two of the lemon-grass stalks of their toughest outer layers, then bruise them with the back of a knife; cut them into sections, and add them to the stock with the ginger and about 1/4 of the minced chilies. Simmer for about 15 minutes, longer if you have the time. Peel all the hard layers off the remaining stalk of lemon grass, and mince its tender inner core.

Taste the broth, and add more chilies if you like, as well as some salt if necessary. In the bottom of each of 4 warmed bowls, sprinkle a little each of the chile, lime leaves or zest, lime juice, cilantro and minced lemon grass.
- Ladle the soup into the bowls and add a teaspoon of nam pla to each bowl. Serve piping hot.
