30 Minute Wonton Chicken Soup

Here’s a meal planning secret from a person who cooks for a living: the frozen food aisle is your friend.

I’m a person who puts frozen veggies in fried rice, uses frozen mango to make salsa, and thinks frozen wontons and dumplings are the unsung heroes of our time.

I also love a store-bought rotisserie chicken, and I’m not afraid to admit it.

This Wonton Chicken Soup is the perfect example of a meal that could’ve taken me hours to make from scratch, but is actually doable for a weeknight thanks to a few store bought shortcuts. Long live frozen wontons!
