Vietnamese Kabocha Squash Soup

"A hearty, but healthier squash soup made with creamy kabocha squash, turkey meatballs, shiitake mushrooms, shrimp and chicken broth. The soup is topped with fresh scallions and cilantro. Serve with jasmine rice and a small bowl of fish sauce and chopped Thai chiles."

Ingredients :

12 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 (10.5 ounce) package bean-thread noodles, or to taste
1 kabocha squash, quartered and seeded
1 pound ground turkey
1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce, or more to taste
1 pinch ground white pepper
3 quarts water
1 quart chicken stock
1 pound shrimp
2 scallions, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, or to taste
cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions :

Prep : 30M	Cook : 8M	Ready in : 1H25M

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Dice 4 of the shiitakes and halve 8 of them. Soak in hot water for 30 minutes to rehydrate. Meanwhile, soak noodles in cold water for 15 minutes.
Arrange kabocha squash on a baking pan. Add some water to the pan.
Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain noodles and chop into small pieces. Mix noodles, diced shiitakes, turkey, fish sauce, and white pepper thoroughly using a fork. Mixing thoroughly will make the meatballs chewy and delicious.
Bring water and chicken stock to a boil in a large stockpot. Shape turkey mixture into egg-shaped balls, or quenelles, using 2 hot, wet spoons. Drop meatballs into the boiling broth. Cook until they float, 10 to 30 seconds.
Peel skin off the squash if desired. Dice into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Drop into the soup with the halved shiitakes and shrimp. Cook until shrimp is opaque, about 5 minutes more.
Taste and add more fish sauce if desired. Top with scallions, cilantro, and black pepper.
