Wonton Soup

I had mentioned that you can make wonton soup from those gyoza the other day. It is so simple and so tasty. I consider this almost one of those recipes without a recipe like Micheal Smith does. Once you have the base for the wonton soup you can build it up any way you want.

• 4 cups low salt chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbl soy sauce
• 1/2 cup chopped bok choy (I like baby best)
• 4 tbl sliced green onions
• 16 frozen gyoza (see previously posted recipe)

1. Combine broth, water and soy sauce in a pot. Bring to a boil.
2. Add the gyoza and bok choy. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Serve topped with a tablespoon on green onions.

This makes four servings of soup (broth and four dumplings). Each serving contains 125 calories, 9 grams of fat, and 1 gram of fiber.

That covers the base of the soup. Beyond that you can add all sorts of things. I have seen wonton soup with thin slices of bbq pork, broccoli florets, carrots, celery, bean sprouts, cabbage, and even a poached egg! Just add those calories and such to your base soup and go nuts creating your own house style wonton soup.
