Easy Wonton Soup
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:

Recipe Reviews
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.
Not sure how filling it will be but i'll try it out, seems tasty.
Affordable and simple its exactly what i wanted thanks for another tasty one Beth!
Instead of ground pork I went with beef.
Delicious and easy to make would totally recommend it to anyone out there wanting to try some Asian foods.
First time making Chinese food from home due to the corona virus i just had to figure something out wish me luck that this turns out delicious like my favorite Chinese resturant haha.
Wasn't too sure i'd like this but it's the perfect appetizer for sure not too filling and has an amazing flavor.
I added some hot sauce to mine for a small kick it's great.
Well done! Verified!
