Pierogy Wonton Soup
  • 1 T. peanut or vegetable oil
  • 2-1/2 cups bok choy cabbage, cut in 1/2 inch pieces (see Note)
  • 1/2 cup carrots, cut into matchsticks (see Note)
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic (see Note)
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 oz.) chicken broth (low sodium, if possible)
  • 1 pkg. (about 16 oz.) Frozen Potato and Cheddar Cheese or Potato and Onion Pierogies (see Note)
  • 1 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup slice radishes (optional)
  • sesame seeds (optional)
1. In large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat.

2. Add bok choy, carrots, garlic and ginger; cook and stir constantly until bok choy is barely tender, about one minute.

3. Add broth and soy sauce; bring to a boil.

4. Add pierogies and cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Stir in radishes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Makes 6 cups.


Note:
1. You can substitute fresh spinach for the bok choy. Add just before pierogies are cooked through.
2. To cut carrots into matchsticks, cut carrot into thin diagonal slices; stack 3 or 4 slices and cut into narrow sticks.
3. We often increase garlic for any recipe, up to 6-8 cloves, minced.
4. I believe fresh pierogies, not frozen, work just as well.
