Pork Wonton Soup

I found this Pork Wonton Soup recipe in that wonderful Woolworths Fresh magazine.  It is very simple and easy to make and very delicious.

I didn't have any bok choy which the original recipe calls for so used broccoli and mushrooms instead.

The wonton wrappers were purchased from a Korean supermarket which was a few blocks away from where I work so easy to get. I couldn't find them in my local supermarket.
