QUICK AND SIMPLE WONTON SOUP IN A FLASH

-

This soup is so amazingly good that when I made it I could hardly wait to post it on here.  Actually, as I am typing this up my bowl is next to me.  You are probably wondering, if it is that good why are you not eating it. Well, goodness gracious it is past good but my soup needed to cool and that gave me time to quickly write up this entry.  I also added the recipe for Pho Broth just a few minutes ago.  Yummy deliciousness in your mouth good.  

 Honestly, this soup is so easy and you can probably have it done in about 15 to 20 minutes.  I adjusted my recipe some for what ingredients I already had on hand.  No way was I going out to buy stuff when I had similar ingredients.  Soup really sounded good to me because my allergies are kicking my bum today and I have an awful headache.  For the life of me when I have major allergy issues I can not seem to warm up.  That is why I was trying to figure out a soup that I could make quick with ingredients I had on hand.  

QUICK AND EASY WONTON SOUP

 Ingredients
  • 6 Cups Pho Ga Broth
  • 1/2 T sambal oelek - optional
  • Pack of frozen dumplings
  • 2 Cups mushrooms
  • 4 Cups spinach
Directions
  • Bring your pho ga to a boil and add next 3 ingredients
  • Before serving add spinach and allow to wilt

Isn't this recipe easy?  Of course, if you wanted to kick it up a notch you could always make your own wonton dumplings.  

Here is how I adjusted the recipe.  I added an entire tablespoon of sambal oelek to spice it up a bit.  Remember we like it hot around our house. I also did not have wonton dumplings but I did have potstickers.  Yeah, I know a bit different but not that different.  Plus I was out of fresh mushrooms but last year Aldi's had mushrooms on sale and I canned several jars so I used a can of mushrooms.  I also garnished mine with hoisin sauce.  I could have added some fresh spring onions but did not feel like walking to the garden for some.  I guess if you have kale you could sub that out for spinach.  Both of those greens are interchangeable.  Remember if you do not have homemade broth just pick up some from the store.  You could also add chicken or shrimp.  I am positive that would be a tasty addition.


I am pretty proud of my pictures.  They really allow you to see how wonderful the soup is.  Gotta go cause my soup has cooled down.  

 Enjoy!!

TOMATO SOUP (CANNING RECIPE)

I made this a couple of weeks back and I am finally getting around to post about it.  I always say life gets in the way and it truly does.  I stay so busy that I sometimes have a hard time finding the time to sit down and write or type a blog post.  It is not that I do not want to, it really is hard to carve out a bit of time to sit down.  Now with all that said.... We are bracing for Hurricane Florence in my neck of the woods.  Thank goodness it has been downgraded to a Cat 2 but you just never know.  I am saying all of that to say it is always good to have some stuff canned.  Oh, I know you can go to the grocery store and buy just about anything but have you given any thought to what is in that tin can you buy?  Or that frozen entree?  Think hard about what you are putting into your body.  Just last night our friend Matt stopped by and he another friend, Dusty that when he runs out of food he is coming to my house.   I have never canned tomato soup.  I really have never thoug

COPY CAT ORTEGA TACO SAUCE

Tacos, everyone loves tacos.  I mean why else do we have Taco Tuesdays?  Well, that is exactly what we had last night for dinner.  Tacos!!!  After fixing them I realized I was out of this wonderful sauce.  I normally keep a few jars canned in the basement but I used the last jar a few weeks back.   Needless to say, I needed to make more since I had the tacos already cooking.  I am so glad it is very easy to make.  Quick and simple.  I will admit though it is better if you let it sit a few days I did but not have the time for that last night.  After all, it was Taco Tuesday in the Cristina's household. Gather your spices together.  Measure out each into a small mixing bowl. Mix it all together. Add tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar. Mix together. Here is a secret ingredient that I add to make it taste yummy.  Lemon pepper seasoning.  It takes the level up a bit and makes it taste so much more like Ortega.   COPY CAT ORTEGA TAC

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY PICKLED JALAPENOS

I have struggled to find a recipe to make pickled jalapenos that were nice and crisp.  My pickled jalapenos were mushy and could only be used as a spice, like in chili or some Mexican dish.  I wanted my pickled jalapenos to have a crunchy bite to them.  I wanted to feel the crisp when I bit into it.  Being frugal I could not just toss them out so of course I still used them.   The last few years I have found a way to make sure they are crunchy and nicely crisp.  I use 2 products, Pickling lime and pickle crisp.  Yeah, I double do it but it works!! My jalapenos came at a lark this year.  Our friend Wade gave us some pepper plants that he had started from seed.  I think he felt sorry for us because we did not have a good turnout with our own seedlings.  We thought we were getting scotch bonnet peppers but it turned out we got 4 jalapeno pepper plants instead.  There is a joke behind planting seeds, do not drink and label your seeds.  It is funny how things turn out becau
