These Florida Foodies were in the mood for Chinese food but lack of cash flow prevented a visit to a restaurant, so we concocted something special from food in the pantry and fridge.
The next time you're hankering for Wonton Soup, don't order take-out. Instead, try this recipe. You won't even need to buy ingredients to make your own wontons. This cheater's version uses frozen beef ravioli instead of the traditional pork wontons, but we think you'll be pleased with the delicious results.
Ingredients
8 cups fat free chicken broth, fresh or canned
4 cups water
1 cup chopped chicken (leftover chicken or canned is fine)
1 minced shallot
1 tab. chopped garlic
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. parsley
2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tab. white wine or sherry (optional)
1 40 oz. bag beef ravioli
Combine water and chicken broth; bring to boil. Add chopped chicken, shallots, garlic, ginger, parsley, soy sauce and wine. Mix together. Add frozen ravioli and return to boil, cooking 5-7 minutes until they float on top of broth.
Add pepper and salt to taste. The amount of salt you add will vary, according to the salt content in the broth you use. If necessary, add boullion cubes.
Ladle into a bowl and sprinkle with parsley flakes before serving.
