How to Make Easy Wonton Soup

Step 1: Make the Wontons

  1. In a bowl, mix the ground pork (or chicken), green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger until well combined.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add 1 teaspoon of filling to the center.
  3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it into a triangle, and press to seal. Bring the two bottom corners together and pinch to create a traditional wonton shape. Repeat for all wrappers.

Step 2: Prepare the Broth

  1. In a large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 3: Cook the Wontons

  1. Gently drop the wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the wontons float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.

Step 4: Add Vegetables

  1. Stir in the spinach or bok choy and mushrooms, cooking for 1–2 minutes until tender.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each has plenty of wontons and broth.
  2. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
