This past week, Hurricane Sandy ripped through New York and New Jersey and we were left with no power or heating for four days.There were trees uprooted all across our neighborhood and we were extremely lucky that none fell on our house or on our neighbors’!The help and offers from friends and well wishers to come and stay was really touching and we’re very thankful to all our friends for their hospitality in such times.The amount of destruction is massive and my heart goes out to the families who’ve suffered to the extent that’s unimaginable and I only hope that their lives return back to normal sooner than later.
In order to keep us warm I often made soups for lunch and this easy Wonton soup was just perfect since it didn’t require any effort.I used a pack of Chicken Wontons sold at Trader Joe’s.Just added a few veggies with some stock and we had one tasty soup. You can easily make a vegetarian version of this soup by using vegetable wontons and vegetable stock!

I have been admiring this soup since your sneak peek on Facebook. I can’t wait to try it. Pinned! This soup looks so much better than the take out version.
Hi Soni: Came across your site through twitter and now I’m following. Such a beautiful, creative and hungry looking site. Will have to try your recipes, expecially this Wonton Soup. Perfect weather for it.

Soni, I’m so glad to hear you emerged from the hurricane unscathed. My heart goes out to everyone deeply affected, especially those who have lost loved ones. I love wonton soup – I always keep wontons in my freezer for a quick, delicious meal. Your version is much healthier than mine though with all those vibrant, fresh veggies.

Sarah recently posted.."Rule of Thirds" Soup for a Warming #SundaySupper
I am so glad to hear that you were able to escape the worse. There was so much destruction. My parents work for a disaster relief non-profit that is assisting in some of the hardest hit areas in New Jersey and they have told me it is far worse to see in person. My dad worked in Mississippi after Katrina and he said it is just as bad as what he saw there. So devastating. But on a happy note your soup looks healthy and hearty, two lovely combinations for a cold winter soup day.
Laura Hunter recently posted..Lentil and Bacon Soup #SundaySupper
So glad to hear everyone are unharmed. Your wanton soup look lovely and easy to prepare. Wanton soup also treated as one of my priorities of recipe to warm our soul. Thanks for sharing, Soni!

Soni, I am SO glad you and your family are safe and that your power has been restored. What a scary experience. But how nice you were still able to share a delicious soul warming soup…I adore wonton soup and am thrilled to see yours chock full of veggies….mmmmmm.
Soni, First, I am happy you are ok after Sandy. As a Florida native, I have too frequently dealt with storms. I still cannot believe the amount of damage that storm brought on. Heartbreaking….. On a foodie note, this looks amazing. My boyfriend loves soup with dumplings. I will have to make this for him!

I can only imagine what a week this must have been for you. I’m happy to hear that you and those around you escaped the trees and are basically unscathed. This sounds like just the thing to bring a bit of much-needed comfort. Delicious!

What a great soup!!! I am pining this and making it soon!
Quick, easy and sooo comforting!
Never had a soup with wontons but it sounds similar to a ravioli soup I used to have. And so easy to make! I´m glad you´re all fine after Sandy!
I never knew wonton soup could be so easy to make. Adding pre-made wontons to my shopping list.
Glad you are safe and sound from the hurricane. So sad about all the destruction.
