Clementine Pork Gnocchi Soup

Made this up last night for dinner, sorry no pic as we just moved and the camera and stuff is upstairs, LOL. Light enough for summer, but warm enough for any occasion. Made delicious with fresh zucchini from my mom and grandma's garden.

1-2 Tbsp EV Olive oil
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Lg Shallot, minced
1 Lb Lean pork, chopped into small bite-sized pieces
1 Can Chicken broth (low sodium/reduced fat)
1 1/2 C Water
1 Lg Zucchini, chopped
1 C Carrots, chopped
Rind from 1 Clementine + 1/2 to all of fruit wedges
Salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
1 Tsp Garlic powder
1 Tsp Onion powder
1/4 Tsp Hot sauce
2 Tsp Mirin (rice wine)
1 Pkg Gnocchi (Italian dumplings, or use handmade)
Cooked rice

Add oil, shallots, and garlic to heated pan (med-high heat) and saute until softened. Add pork and stir occasionally until almost fully cooked. Pour in broth and water, then add carrots, zucchini, rind of clementine and half of the fruit (add more to taste after it has cooked for a while), seasonings, hot sauce, and mirin. Bring to a boil, then cover and continue to cook at a simmer until the carrots are cooked to desired softness.

While that is cooking, cook gnocchi as directed by the package.

Add Gnocchi to the soup, and let simmer for 5 minutes. Discard clementine rinds. Serve over 1/2-1 Cup of cooked rice.
