OH YEAH TASTY TIMES. i made this soup as a starter for my lettuce wrap dinner. then i ate it for my next 2 meals. i used wonton wrappers and made them the lazy way instead of making a dough because i was tight on time. when i figure out a good recipe for wrappers i’ll let you know. until then, do this: FILLING 5 shitake mushrooms, soaked for an hour in a 1 1/2 […]

POT PIE!
