Minestrone with turkey meatballs
Description
Soup is such a good option for lunch or dinner. It is healthy and fills up very well. This recipe is great when loads of veggies are in season. But I like to cook it all year round. Great for colder days as it has a bit of heat, so warms up too. Also, this version is low carb, great for those on a low carb diet and for weight loss.
