Chicken Wonton Noodle Soup
- Total Time: 55 minutes
- Yield: 6
Description
Not only is this delicious, but also fun to make! Get the kiddies involved in the folding process. It’s great fun! You can alter the filling to suit your tastes. Prawns could be used in addition or as a substitute. Pork is also an option. Vary the vegetables you want to use to suit your preferences. My veggies are raw as I love the crunch but you can steam them first if you like. It’s a very adaptable dish.
