Wonton Soup 餛飩湯

It was a cold November morning when a childhood memory came back to me.  The weather was grey and rainy, mom was too lazy to cook so she sent me running over to the restaurant next door and order my favorite wonton soup for lunch.  It was served in a light broth with a few pieces of salted vegetables.  I am lucky that the restaurant still exists after all these years and I always make sure to go for a wonton soup every time I visit Taipei.

Now that winter is approaching, I would like to share this experience with you.  To make it simple to prepare, I have created a kit : a portion of my homemade bouillon (chicken or vegetable), salted vegetables (yes, the same as my favorite restaurant) and dried spring onions are packed with each portion of wonton.  All needs to be done is to boil 1 liter of hot water in a medium sized pot, put in all the ingredients, let it cook for 10 minutes and enjoy!
