Recipe for Wonton Soup, With a Kick!

Woke up to a chill in the house, some snow on the ground, and I said to myself, “No!  No!  No!”.  Baby it’s cold outside.  I want some yummy in my tummy and a little fire in my belly.  Most of all, I don’t want to go out!  I don’t even want to open the door for the Chinese food delivery man (or woman)!  

Nothing warms like you a hot bowl of soup.  Nothing!  But, I’m not a big soup fan.  So, what’s a man to do?  Like the guy to the right, I don’t always drink soup, but when I do, you know, it is going to be Wonton Soup!

Fire up the internet (another way to stay warm, but of course, that’s a figurative, and not literal expression), search for a good soup recipe.  And as usual, Allrecipes.com didn’t let me down.  Praying I had all the ingredients I needed in my pantry, I set everything out, fired up the stove, and thanks to their recipe for Wonton Soup, I made the following:
