Description

Delight in the comforting warmth of a bowl of homemade Wonton Soup. This classic Chinese dish features flavorful pork or shrimp wontons in a fragrant chicken broth with bok choy and mushrooms. Perfect for a cozy night in or as a starter for a delicious Asian meal.


Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • Salt and white pepper to taste

For the Wontons:

  • 24 store-bought or homemade wontons (pork or shrimp)
  • 1 cup baby bok choy (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and green onions. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the Wontons: Gently add wontons to the pot and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes until they float and are cooked. Add bok choy and mushrooms, cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Season and Serve: Season the broth with salt and white pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can freeze extra wontons for later use. Cook them directly from frozen.
  • For added heat, drizzle with chili oil before serving.
