Since my kids are in College, I still haven’t figured out how to cook for two! This soup freezes well, or you can always share with a neighbor or friend.

Easy Wonton Soup
A steaming hot bowl of Wonton soup full of fresh and delicious flavors is so easy to make and so much better than takeout! My kids said this was the best soup that I have made. WOW! I make a lot of soup during the colder months, so that says a lot! Wontons are Chinese dumplings that can be steamed or fried. I filled wonton skins with ground pork, shrimp, ginger,scallions and seasonings. The wontons cook quickly when placed in boiling water. Fresh chopped bok choy and snow peas are a delicious addition to this light and flavorful soup. Sauteed mushrooms are also delicious in this soup.

I have a LOT of food blogger friends. Not just friends that you write to on Facebook and blogs, but friends that you wish you could hang out with if they lived closer.
One of those friends is Monica Mooney, whom I fondly refer to as Moondoggie. She has the food blog, Sweet Heat Chefs, and I think she is wonderful.
We belong to a food group where we talk and laugh and cry and talk about all kinds of personal stuff with no judgment, stuff we can talk about such as our blogging, or how do we get more followers? Or how do you like this recipe? Or my kid got an award today!
Check out my YOUTUBE Video! Make sure to Follow me on YOUTUBE and not miss my newest videos!
I can’t wait for the day when we can all get together and share a meal and a big bottle of something!! These friends mean a lot to me, like a pen pal but in a group and way better!
