SPINACH SOUP WITH WONTONS Recipe Video
This spicy broth is a nice contrast to the mild and creamy wontons. The ricotta mixed with the spinach for the filling makes for a very creamy textured wonton center. Wontons are definitely NOT hard to make ! Give it a shot ! Even if they don’t come out quite the right shape, as long as they stay sealed, that is really all that matters :-)And at only 137 calories per serving, double up the portion and you still have room for some crispy homemade flatbreads as a side !
Ingredients
| Frozen chopped spinach | 10 Ounce, drained | |
| ½ c part skim ricotta cheese | ||
| Basil | 1 Tablespoon, chopped | |
| Pepper | 1/2 Tablespoon | |

| 4 14.5 oz. cans chicken broth | ||
| Soy sauce | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Chili Sauce | 2 Tablespoon | |
| ½ c scallions, thinly sliced | ||
Directions
For this recipe, be sure to use a pot that is large enough that the wontons have room and don’t get all piled on top of one another. Mix spinach, ricotta, basil and pepper in a blender until smooth. Place 1 T filling in each wonton and fold according to package instructions being sure to seal the last fold with a bit of water. Bring broth, soy and chili sauce to a boil. Add wontons and scallions and bring back to a boil. Cover and reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes or until wontons are tender.
