Savory Soups and Salads (Healthy Selects)

Summary: Disappointing Collection
Review: I love soup cookbooks and have over 30 of them. This collection is published by the American Diabetes Association as part of their Healthy Selects series - oddly, that information is not anywhere on the product page here. "Savory Soups and Salads" is obviously inexpensive, but it's not a particularly good buy overall. Specifically, the cookbook contains surprisingly few soup recipes - 22. The remainder of the book consists of salad, bread, and salad dressing recipes.

The soup recipes that are included, though, are fairly good although basic, including Italian Minestrone, lentil soup, beef stew. In addition, extensive nutritional information is included for each. However, the book is rather skimpy with no pictures and minimal text, barely a notch above those "cookbooks" you can purchase in the grocery store check-out line. Unfortunately, "Savory Soups and Salads" is my first major disappointment from this site.
