New soup, who dis? Snow days got me poking around in my freezer to see what I can make. Enter thelemonbowl ‘s Asian Noodle Soup with Shrimp and Wontons. Can’t believe I had all these ingredients on hand, but that’s the bright side of pandemic cooking, I guess. 🤷♀️. So glad I did because it was delicious! 🍜 (Definitely recommend the hoisin sauce to top) Enjoy! 👩🏻🍳
