I\u2019ve been cooking as usual of course, but nothing that deserved a special entry. Until today. Inspired by a giant zucchini I bought for 100JPY at the farmers market, I decided to use it for a soup. I love mint and zucchini soup, and the mint is spreading at a very fast pace in the kitchen garden, so I was all set, until I realized that \u201cjust\u201d a zucchini soup won\u2019t make the trick for an active day, and we needed a little more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just had pork meat and opted for pork mint croquettes, and with a piece of bread left over a couple of croutons. Something that could be largely inspired by Italian meatball soup, but my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it was damn delicious, so much that I really want to keep the recipe and do it again and again!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zucchini meatball soup<\/strong> (2 servings)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>1 extra large zucchini or 2 normal size <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fresh mint (10 leaves)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100g of ground pork <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>23bs of panko<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More fresh mint (10 leaves)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A piece of left over bread<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A bit of oil for cooking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt and pepper <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash and cut the zucchini, steam it until soft.
