Wonton Soup
"Traditionally, wonton soup is served without noodles. But here in Australia, Chinese restaurants have "Combination Short and Long Soup" which is wonton soup with noodles, so I have provided that option. Feel free to load up with veggies in the soup - that's what I do to make a super healthy, delicious, satisfying meal! Fantastic for freezing for quick standby meals...."
