I absolutely love Chinese wonton soup! And if I knew before that it was so quick and easy to make I would have made it way more often. It was my first attempt and look at the picture, for a first it’s pretty ok. The recipe is really simple and with all the fresh veggies it’s also incredibly healthy. It’s with a shrimp filling but you could also make it with chicken. Have a look at the recipe and vary the ingredients with your favourite veggies.
You can find frozen wonton wrappers and thai basil at almost every Asian supermarket. I don’t need to mention that the recipe is absolutely fructosefriendly and a perfect weeknight dinner.

In a medium size pot bring salted water to a boil and cook the wontons in it for 4 minutes. Don't cook your wontons in your chicken broth because the cornstarch will blur your broth.
