Wonton Soup Recipe
Wonton soup is one of the most popular Chinese recipes. The soup is nourishing, especially for cold winter months. What is wonton soup? It’s a popular soup served at many Chinese restaurants. The hearty soup comes with delicately wrapped wonton in a steaming hot and delicious broth. Wontons are Chinese dumplings wrapped with wonton wrappers. They are commonly filled with shrimp, ground pork or a combination of shrimp and pork.
Recipe Ingredients
My recipe calls for the following ingredients:
Shrimp Yellow chives. If you can’t find yellow chives, you can use scallions. Packaged wonton wrapper. Wonton wrapper is always square in shape and has a light yellow tint to it. Low-sodium chicken broth.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients.
How To Make Wonton Soup
It’s very easy to make the soup from scratch. This is the most authentic and the best recipe, sourced from my best-selling cookbook Easy Chinese Recipes. The first step is to make the wonton filling. Next, wrap the wonton with the filling using a store-bought wonton wrapper. The final step is to cook the wrapped wontons in the broth and it is ready!
The Soup Base
You can get instant soup base at Chinese grocery stores but it’s always laden with too much MSG. My choice for the soup base is low-sodium chicken broth.
