Wonton Soup

Believe it or not, there are days when I don't want to cook. Blasphemy, I know! So, the family and I will order out. Unfortunately, the Polar Vortex shut just about everything down this past week and I was forced to throw something together. I was cold. So... Soup's on!


You can do this two ways:



1) Make the wontons yourself. Here's how- Wontons/Dumplings

or...

2) Go to TJ's (Trader Joes) and pick up a frozen bag. So far, TJ's has the best pre-made wontons I have tasted- and that INCLUDES the ones at the Asian market. Not too shabby!

WONTON SOUP
Serves 2-4
Prep 20 minutes

• 3 cups water
• 1heaping tsp 'Better Than Bouillon' Organic Vegetable base (LOVE THIS STUFF!!)
• 1 pkg wontons
• 1/2 scallion- green part reserved and sliced
• 1 thinly sliced medium mushroom
• 3 shakes of Teriyaki sauce
• 2 tbsp Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar
• 2tsp Salt 

Let the water come to a boil and add the bouillon and wontons. Let them boil until fully cooked- they should rise to the top. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the Teriyaki and Vinegar. Add the scallion and mushroom into the serving bowls and ladle the soup on top.  Taste test! There. Done. Tasty and simple.
