Recipe: Wonton Soup

I made the full recipe shown below and between the two of us, Mr. Smarmy ate all of it in one day. That’s how awesome it is.

Making the wontons is a little time consuming, but it isn’t difficult. Plus, you’re making a TON.

Mmmm... soup!

I used an Emeril recipe as a guide, but put my own spin on it.
