Yes, you read it right. This is a recipe for non-wonton soup. What can I say? I want to be health-conscious more and more, and a girl has got to do what it takes to be swimsuit ready, and if that means I have to skip the wonton for a few months, so be it.
Actually, I find that the wonton wrapper takes away from the flavour of that little pork pillow inside. Why spend so much time adding fantastic flavour to it if you’re going to cover it up? Once again, this non-wonton soup has so much nutrition in it that your body will be pleased!
So if you are interested in that summertime body or just to feel extraordinary, I will tell you what you will need.
Tell me that this non-wonton soup does not look yummy or nutritious. Those bright assortments of colours mean nothing but good things for your health.
