One day, I had left over breakfast sausage, left over cabbage, left over wonton wrappers, and a bit of cream cheese in my fridge. I decided to have a left over party in my kitchen and slapped them all together. Out came the creamy sausage wonton.... I fried (dipped in sweet n sour sauce) several and froze some for later use.
Another day, I made pumpkin soup. I wondered if there was a way to jazz up this soup and I immediately thought about the wontons I had froze from a week prior. I decided to toss some in my pumpkin soup... an idea I was forever thankful towards my brain for thinking. The combination was so great. The second time around making pumpkin soup (this recipe), I didn't have wonton wrappers, but I did have all of the ingredients within. I added all of the fillings of the wontons straight into the soup. Same great taste from when I first made it. I hope you enjoy it! It's one of my own that I'm very proud of.
