The Vegetarian Wanton Soup is a healthy and flavorful meal that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. The soup is a Chinese classic, consisting of a nutritious vegetable broth, vegetables, tofu, egg noodles, and wontons - usually filled with minced shrimp or pork. This vegetarian version replaces meat with mushrooms and water chestnuts to give it a satisfying texture. The soup's lightness makes it a perfect choice for a light lunch or dinner.
