Cucumber, Tomato, Minced Meat Soup

I usually don't really know what to do with my cucumber, after using part of it for certain dishes or fruit juice. I have been thinking of trying to use it to cook quick soup. Today, I used the remainder of the cucumber, which I used for the sweet and sour chicken to make a quick soup, to go with the rice and sweet and sour chicken dish. My children always like to have their meals with a bowl of soup. The soup tasted refreshingly light and sweet.

Ingredients
80-100g minced meat
1/2 medium sized cucumber, diced (divided longitudinally into 8 sections, and then cut into small cubes)

1 medium sized tomato, wedged (divided cross section wise)

-1/2 tsp salt

-2 big bowls (800ml) water


Marinate for minced meat

-1 tsp light soya sauce

-1/2 tsp corn starch

-dash of pepper


Instructions

-Marinate minced meat for 15-20min.

-Bring water to boil

-Add minced meat and cucumber.

-Boil for 15 min till cucumber is soft.

-Add tomato and boil for another 10 min.

-Add salt to taste.
