Finalist at Whole Foods Recipe Challenge!
Wonton Noodle Soup
My Wonton Noodle Soup is a finalist at the Whole Foods Budget Recipe Challenge! Can you believe it?
Need your help, please. There are 6 finalists and the winner is decided by votes! And because I’m up against blog-friends, Karina, Rachel and Katy. They are all really pretty, super-talented and I love them dearly.
But.
I’m going to play dirty….real dirty.
I’m gonna throw out all I’ve got, baby.
The Bribe Card:
By voting (which is done by commenting) you get a chance to win $500 from Whole Foods.
The Cute Kid Card:
Here. Let me pimp out my kids again:
Andrew and Nathan helped me make the wontons.
Awwww…aren’t they cute? NOW GO VOTE FOR ME!
The Save You Money Card:
Wonton Noodle Soup only costs $2.98 per serving. Like, way cheaper than a Double Cheeseburger Meal Deal.
The Second Bribe Card:
Ok, so that first bribe really wasn’t from me. You are entered into the $500 drawing no matter who you vote for and the money comes from Whole Foods! hehehe.
So, here’s the bribe. If I win (and I can only win IF YOU VOTE FOR ME!) I get TEN $25 Whole Foods gift certificates. I will give NINE of them away to random voters on Whole Food’s site.
Oh, what happened to the TENTH gift certificate? I’ve already promised the boys $25 worth of jelly beans if they told their teachers to vote for me.
The I’ll Do Your Ironing Card:
Um. No.
It’s a Close Race! (it really is!):
But please, purty pullleeeeeze come vote for the Wonton Noodle Soup recipe? You’ll have to register to vote and voting is simply done by commenting on the recipe at Whole Food’s site. You’ll automatically be entered to win the $500 Whole Food Prize plus my NINE $25 gift certificates.

Dude. What the hell are you still doing here? GO VOTE FOR ME ALREADY!

I voted! Good luck (and good luck me)!
Done, honey! You definitely deserve to win. The top picture in this post looks amazing.
Oooo! I’m so there! I’d love to help ya win awards.
good luck! i just cast my vote for you! i just made wonton soup last week but seeing this post makes me want it again already!
OK, vote is in.
I didn’t write anything about it’d cost about 1/2 the price if you use ingredients from any other grocery… that should help your chances.
I guess if you didn’t win the $8 million, $500 doesn’t look too bad.
Looks really good, and I can substitute another ground meat for the pork to make it kosher. I voted for you!
Of course I voted for you! I likely would have even if it hadn’t been you, but I’d really love to see you win. And me.
Ooh- you are sneaky!
Wishing you good luck! Your wanton recipe looks amazing.
It will be my pleasure to help you out, I am off to vote for you now
Hope you win
Voted–Good luck!!
Oh, I love when you bribe me. Voted! =)
I voted for you and sung your praises! Good luck.
That’s crazy ! I created an account on whole foods market just to vote for you and I even can’t use down here the Whole Foods gift certificate (if I get one…) !!
Anyway your recipe deserves to win !
I am so excited for you! I will go vote for you! Love your soup…it has all my favorites in it. Love the bok choy. Good Luck!
okay I voted…..
I’m sure your recipe WAS the best. I can’t wait to try it. Hope you win
renee
voted – looks amazing!
2 cute little boys making wonton.
Gotta vote for you for that! ^^
The dish looks great.
I will definately try it at home.
Oh… You make me wanna eat wantons now!
If i make it myself, it wont be $2.98.
I will be adding fresh shrimps and chopped water chestnuts into it. lol…
Your boys are so talented!
This looks amazing. You got my vote. I think I might make this tomorrow night, with chicken though. We don’t eat pork.
Hope you win!
Oh heck yeah Jaden, I am voting for you! No bribery needed! But the pix of those adorable boys did make me want to reward their dutiful (and unpaid) child labor. Get them those jelly beans Jaden!
Well it is really clever of youto bribe all of us.
I went andvoted for, even without the bribe i would vote for the soup.
This looks great, you’ve got this won!
Yumm! Souper douper, I will make this. Wontons are so comforting. Now I’m going to vote!
honestly, this looked like the best one to me – I even bought all the stuff to make it yesterday. (the black bean enchiladas look pretty good too, I must admit) I’ve been craving a hearty yummy soup with dumplings since the cold weather started here…
I voted, I voted. And I would have to say you have this contest in the bag.
You suckered me in – I voted for you! And now I’m craving some Wonton Noodle Soup!
You won me over with the cute kid card! Thanks for a few laughs and a great recipe.
Voted early and often! No, seriously, the recipe looks amazing; indeed, I will endeavor to make it tonight. If I win the gift certificate, please donate it to your kids’ teachers as I won’t be able to use it here.
I’m definitely voting. BTW, are those two different wonton skins in the pictures above? One looks yellow, and the other looks white. Or are my eyes failing me?? I’ve been studying my notes waayyyy too long.
Casadelun: The photo below is from Whole Foods when they tested the recipe. They must have used a different brand of wrappers than I did! Mine prob had more egg.
Voted – Good Luck
I voted! (YAY!)
I made this for my game group a few weeks ago. They have some strange conditions (well dietary requirements) since one of them is allergic to turkey and pork. And the newest member is vegetarian. So I had to modify it a bit to make it friendly to everyone. The lunch that day was stir fried rice, wonton soup and chicken stir-fry for the meat eaters. It was a great hit (all your recipes suitably adapted) and aside from huge quantities (I knew it would be a hit with everyone!) it was easy.
I just happened upon your site by link hopping from ThePioneerWoman. And wow -this dish just looks amazing. My husband will be SO thrilled when I make it! I also voted!
Alright- you got me with the cute kid card. But seriously, that is some tasty lookin’ soup. I am so making this soon.
I just voted! haha… I love the cute kid card! But this recipe sounds delish and I really like the way you folded the wontons. I’ve always been to lazy and made triangles. This looks alot prettier!
Okay, I did it and voted for you! What about the “I’ll name my next-born after you” card? Ah well, I’d like to go crazy at Whole Foods with $500. That’ll probably allow me to buy at least a basketful of stuff, eh? I’m always making wontons and freezing them ’cause they’re so healthy, cheap and easy! Wonton’s a winner with kids too! Hope you win!
I voted! Besides, I love wonton soup!
Voted! Team Jaden, yeah!!
Jaden,
I voted for you, natch! This is gonna cost you, big timel! How’za about a handful of designer wonton wrappers, each signed by you! Send ‘em by email!
I can taste your Whole Foods wontons at the new WF store in Naples.
I’m gonna mention you at the Press Club conference:

Love and wontons,
