What's Cooking - a day late

Oh there is a chill in the air...time for soup and the sniffles.  My little one and myself have been suffering from a bad cold.  So hence the day late!  I have already made two delicious soups this season.  These are sure to hit the spot on these chilly nights!  On both soup, we added a little heat with some fresh jalapeños after getting the kids' servings out.  We also topped the wonton soup with something new and so tasty.  We took egg roll wrappers and sprayed with a little butter spray and sprinkled with salt.  We baked for 8-10 minutes at 425, until golden.  We then crushed and added to the soups.  It was the perfect, crunchy accessory.  I really hope your family enjoys!
