Easy Wonton Soup

Recipe Description

This Easy Wonton Soup is a favorite in my house. We love the salty hearty broth with the delicious pork wonton parcels. Wonton soup is one of my favorite things to order from the local Chinese takeout but since we are cooking at home more often now, I have been experimenting with my own recipe. I think you will love this one as much as I do.

Start by combining the wonton filling ingredients in a large bowl. Assemble the wontons by placing a ½ a tablespoon of filling in the center of each one and folding accordingly. Next, prepare the soup. Once the soup has come to a boil and simmered for 10 minutes, remove the ginger and garlic and add the wontons. Cook for 10 minutes before serving in large bowls with a green onion garnish.

To make the Wonton Soup, you will need the following ingredients:

I tried this Easy Wonton Soup last week, and it was a hit! My kids loved helping me fold the wontons, which created such a lovely mess in the kitchen. The broth was so rich and delicious. It felt like we were dining at our favorite Chinese place, but even better because we made it together.

I like the brothy poached chicken soup a lot more its not really an appetizer kinda thing though it'll fill you up so you wont have to make a main course.
