I love the convenience of shredded green cabbage sold at Trader Joe’s and use it all the time.Its such a life saver when you’re pressed for time especially in the weeknights.This recipe calls for some onions, ginger , spices like ground coriander and garam masala that’s an essential element in any North Indian dish.The cabbage and mushrooms are then added into the mix and get coated in the aromatics. The result is a delicious filling ready to go into the Wonton wrappers.

The wonton wrappers are placed onto a mini muffin tin and baked for just a few minutes until slightly golden and crispy.Once slightly cooled they’re ready to be filled with the cabbage and mushroom mixture and served with your favorite condiment.Enjoy!

Easy Wonton Soup #SundaySupper

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!
