Wow, your photos are fantastic, Ann. I can almost feel the heat in the broth. I know I would love this dish.
Your wonton soup looks delicious! I remember as a kid, I begged my dad to show me how to wrap wontons. (He never cooked, he only made a hot chile sauce condiment and wrapped wontons.) So there was I, 8 or 9 years old, shelling shrimp and mincing pork. It was a much longer process then my little child mind prepared for! Thanks for the nostalgic memories.
