We used to have a cucuzza (opo) squash tree when I was little, and I loved this soup. Yes, even as a little kid, this was good! If you can't find these squash, you can use more common ones like summer or zucchini. Serve immediately over warm cooked white rice.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 teaspoons cooking oil
  • 0.5 pounds ground pork
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 4 cups peeled , seeded, and diced opo squash
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 , 15 ounce
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cubess chicken bouillon
  • 1.5 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a wok or heavy pot over medium heat; gently cook and stir pork, breaking up meat as it cooks, until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add squash and salt; cover wok and cook, stirring 2 to 3 times, over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
