    It's a common misconception that the best soups require long ingredient lists and hours of simmering. In fact, just a handful of high-flavor items can be transformed into an umami-bomb of a soup in just 45 minutes. In this recipe from our book "Cook What You Have," we get the job done thanks to just a few high-impact Asian pantry staples. The soup has three sources of umami — mushrooms, miso and kimchi. Dried shiitake mushrooms contribute to the soup in two ways. Rehydrating them in hot water renders them soft and supple while infusing the soaking water with flavor. We slice and saute the mushroom caps until browned, along with fresh ginger and garlic. We also mix the mushroom-infused water with store-bought chicken or vegetable broth to give it a deep, earthy note.

      Crumb cake should be tall and fluffy with a thick, toasty layer of cinnamon crumb topping. And that’ s exactly the kind of crumb cake this recipe makes. Here, cinnamon and brown sugar team up to create a soft and moist cake that’ s full of nutty caramel notes once baked.
