Sometimes, I just want soup.

A lot of times, when I want soup… I want Asian soup. Mostly wonton soup. There’s something so delicious about yummy, yummy wontons floating in a soup. Mmmmm.
My favorite local chinese place serves their wonton soup with a lot of fresh chopped veggies in it. When I saw this recipe in my Weight Watchers cookbook, I knew I needed to try it as it would be a lower calorie version of that soup I love.
And… anything with Bok Choy in it makes me smile.
