I have to tell you all a little secret. I wasn't going to post a soup this week. I'm going out of town and I just didn't think it would be possible. Well of course over my lunch hour I was looking through soup recipes and one stood out to me. It was titled, and I quote, "Easy Wonton Soup." The title of this recipe caught my heart immediately. Easy. Yes! Wonton Soup. Yes! I have this newfound obsession with Asian style soups. I love Chinese-inspired, Vietnamese-inspired, and Thai-inspired soups. In fact, my husband and I go out for Foh at least once or twice a month. It is by far one of my very favorite meals any time of year. So when I saw this recipe pop up I thought- well, now that I've seen it I have to make it. I made a quick stop at the grocery store after work. I didn't have my usual photographer with me (my husband), so I had to selfie it up. Let me tell you, you get some pretty weird looks taking selfies with green onions in the middle of the grocery store. Instead of wontons, the recipe suggests frozen potstickers. I personally think this is a great idea in many ways- makes the recipe quick and easy. However, anytime you incorporate anything frozen I guess it adds some extra ingredients that make it less "pure" than maybe some of the other soups. I did enjoy the potstickers available at our local grocery store- not too many ingredients that I would consider "bad" (preservatives, etc.). Ingredients
Cliffnotes VersionThis recipe IS easy. I mean, easy. The "Cliff notes" version is practically the real version. 1.) Put ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and chicken broth in a pot 2.) Bring to boil 3.) Add pot stickers, onions, and carrots 4.) Simmer for 10 minutes 5.) Add sesame oil (had never heard of this until this recipe) Since I've been doing this a couple weeks now, I felt like I could experiment a little bit with the recipe. Therefore, I added more green onion than the recipe called for, and a little more garlic than what is listed. I think this was definitely a good choice, since it fills out the broth more (and I love green onion). When (not if) I make this again, I would probably buy more broth, and add more of every ingredient except the wontons. Basically I just want more than this recipe made. Is it bad that this recipe was one of the easiest I've made and one of my absolute favorites?!? I suppose that's definitely a good thing :) I couldn't stop eating this soup right after I made it. I was enjoying it immensely, and then realized that I hadn't taken a picture of it yet! It was hard to stop eating it long enough to take the picture. Needless to say I'll be making this again. This picture makes me hungry, and I just ate dinner. Feel free to comment if you try this recipe, or if you have any other easy recipes you would recommend! Enjoy!
