Melbourne weather is unpredictable. One morning could be beautiful and sunny day then in the afternoon, it could be crisp and raining! The past week has been a bit like that with today a bit cooler than the weekend and to me, nothing warms me up better than some wonton soup!
Sometimes when I make wontons for a party, gathering or just for my family, I make too many and so end up freezing the remainder. Wontons can be frozen for up to 5-6 weeks - you just need to freeze them on a baking paper-lined tray then once frozen, pack them into a resealable freeze bag
or container. When you want to cook them (either in a soup or deep fried), you do not thaw them before cooking. But who says you need to use frozen wontons for this delicious soup? Either way - fresh or frozen, this is a delicious meal that you will make again and again.
