Wonton Soup


Allow me to share a recent discovery I made after reviewing my last few posts on here....I think I have a girl crush on Steamy Kitchen! :) Her recipes never fail to deliver delicious food to my table. It's a bonus that she has plenty of pictures, step-by-step instructions, and usually a video to accompany each recipe. She has a new book coming out, and I am excitedly awaiting its release, especially since it's called Healthy Asian Favorites, which is pretty much right up my alley. Soooooo if someone is looking for an early Valentine's Day/Christmas/birthday gift for me.... :)

Anyway, enough about my crush, and on to another one of her delicious recipes...wonton soup!  This tastes NOTHING like the bland broth with chewy starchy noodles filled with a blob of "mystery meat" that my brothers and I grew up eating at the local Chinese restaurant. These wontons were fresh, light, and flavorful. I had so much fun making them too! I like that I made a whole batch and froze the leftover wontons to use later. I used ground chicken instead of pork, and fresh cooked spinach instead of frozen.

I'll leave the instructions to Steamy Kitchen with a link to her recipe here, and just post some of my photos. If anyone wants to have one of those "dumpling parties" that she talks about, let me know! It would be fun to try a bunch of different fillings.

Wonton wrapping in progress...it really was easy!
