Last night I made another recipe from the Skinnytaste High Protein cookbook, Shortcut Turkey Meatball Minestrone Soup. It too was very involved like the Mexican Beef soup (despite being labeled "shortcut"). It took over an hour and came out just okay. So far I'm not as impressed with this cookbook as her previous ones. Everything I've made is very time consuming and just tastes okay when I'm done. Definitely not worth the effort they take. Usually her stuff is fairly simple and really delicious. We're having leftover soup tonight.
