Every family or restaurant might have its own variation, but the soul of the dish is always the same: warm, delicate, and deeply comforting.
🍜 Easy Homemade Wonton Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Wontons:
1/2 pound ground pork (or shrimp, or a mix of both)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
20–30 wonton wrappers (available in most grocery stores)
For the Broth:
4 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
1 cup water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2–3 thin slices of fresh ginger
Salt, to taste
Chopped green onions or bok choy (optional, for garnish or added greens)
Instructions:
Make the Wontons:
In a mixing bowl, combine the pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onions, salt, and white pepper. Mix well.
Place a small spoonful (about 1 teaspoon) of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper.
Moisten the edges with water, fold into a triangle, and press to seal. You can fold the corners inward for a traditional shape, or keep it simple — either way works!
Prepare the Broth:
In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 10–15 minutes to develop flavor. Remove the ginger slices before serving.
Cook the Wontons:
Gently drop the wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until they float and the filling is fully cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy:
Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each bowl gets several wontons and a good scoop of broth. Garnish with extra green onions or a handful of lightly steamed bok choy if desired.
👩🍳 Tips & Variations
Make it spicy: Add a splash of chili oil or a pinch of white pepper to give the broth a kick.
Meal prep friendly: You can freeze uncooked wontons for later — just lay them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a bag.
Add noodles or veggies: For a heartier version, toss in thin egg noodles or shredded carrots and napa cabbage.
