Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut carrot, courgette and potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pick thyme leaves. • In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, garlic & herb seasoning and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into small meatballs (5-6 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook meatballs, turning, until browned 6-8 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• Add tomato paste and garlic paste to the saucepan and cook, stirring until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add beef-style stock powder and the water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes.
• Add cooked veggies and baby leaves, stirring until wilted, 1-2 minutes.
• Divide pork meatball and veggie minestrone soup between bowls. • Sprinkle Parmesan over to serve. Enjoy!
