Miso Corn Soup!

Gotta try this: Miso Corn Soup (made with fresh sweet corn)

Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 8 ears of corn
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 5 tablespoons white miso
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • Chili oil (for serving)

Preparation

  • Cut kernels from cobs and place in a large bowl. Place cobs in a medium pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until stock is infused with corn flavor, 40–45 minutes.

  • Heat butter in another medium pot over medium. Cook onion, stirring often, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add miso and ½ cup corn stock and stir to dissolve miso. Add corn kernels and another ½ cup corn stock and cook until corn is bright yellow and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and blend, streaming in 2 cups corn stock to thin, until smooth. Strain soup through a fine-mesh sieve back into pot; season with salt and pepper. Heat over medium-low until warmed through. 

  • Divide soup among bowls; top with chives and drizzle with chili oil.

Sesame Soba Noodles

This recipe for Sesame Soba noodles is terrifically easy, and pretty fast. They're a bit too sweet for my taste - I'll reduce the proportion of honey next time.


Liege Waffles // Gaufre de Liège

This waffle recipe is excellent – and not that hard (though the batter must rise overnight).


Slow Cooker: Tomato, Kale, and Quinoa Soup

This one's delicious... a good way to use up a big pile of kale. Serve with crusty bread and cheese.
