Mushroom Wonton Soup with Roasted Chicken Broth, Leeks, Lemon, and Thyme
Looking for something on the healthy side that is still hardy? This mushroom wonton soup will satisfy your dinner desires. Ginger cookies, sugar cookies, and good ol' chocolate chip cookies make a great dessert after this soup. I remember making wonton soup with my family and friends as a kid, so this a great recipe to make with others and see which person is the best wonton maker.
