Jans' Tip: You can buy chicken filled or pork filled wonton's in the freezer section of most grocery stores, or Asian grocery stores. Either kind will work just fine!
This soup is so comforting! It will warm you heart and soul, and would be great along side an inexpensive noodle bowl for dinner or lunch.
It makes a ton, so I cut the recipe in half ,since we are empty nester's now, but it would feed a family for sure.
Here's my homemade version of Take Out Wonton Soup.
