As Italian cuisine became more familiar, farmers in Japan began to cultivate more local vegetables. One such vegetable is the zucchini, a relative of the pumpkin that offers a distinct texture. When you have a few zucchini, chef Kuniaki Arima suggests making soup from them. The process is simple. Stir-fry an ingredient and coat it with oil. When aroma rises, add the next ingredient. This recipe may also be used to make seasonal soups from carrots, turnips and other vegetables. Serves four.
