My favorite pumpkin soup:





(Makes enough for 8 people, or maybe more! You might want to cut it down a little bit, but it warms up great, and you can eat it all day. My family eats it with breakfast, lunch and supper, sometimes.)





4 med. potatoes, peeled and diced


1 large carrot, peeled and diced


1/2 Japanese kabocha (pumpkin), seeds removed and cut into bite-sized bits (you can leave the skin on!)





Put in 2 liters water, and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for 20 minutes.





Add a minced onion, and 200 g. of shimeji mushrooms, and let it boil a little more.





Turn down the heat, then add 1/4 cup of good miso (fermented soy bean paste) and 1 or 2 teaspoons of dashi (fish bouillion).





You can add sliced green onions or wakame seaweed as a nice garnish.





Enjoy!
