🥣 Wonton Soup Recipe

Warm up with this comforting homemade wonton soup recipe — soft pork-filled dumplings floating in a savory, aromatic broth. Easy to make, flavorful, and perfect for weeknights or cozy dinners.

Introduction

Wonton Soup is a comforting Chinese classic — delicate dumplings filled with seasoned pork (or shrimp) served in a fragrant chicken broth. It’s light, nourishing, and full of flavor.

This homemade version is simple, healthy, and tastes even better than takeout. With tender wontons, a clear flavorful broth, and fresh green onions, every spoonful feels like a warm hug!

🧂 Ingredients

For the Wontons:

  • 200g ground pork (or chicken/shrimp)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 24 wonton wrappers

For the Soup:

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • ½ cup bok choy or spinach (optional)
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

🍳 Instructions

  1. Make the Wontons

    • In a bowl, mix pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onions, sugar, and cornstarch.
    • Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
    • Fold the wrapper diagonally and pinch edges to seal tightly. You can twist or fold the corners for a traditional shape.

  2. Cook the Wontons

    • Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the wontons and cook until they float (about 4–5 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.

  3. Prepare the Broth

    • In another pot, combine chicken broth, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Bring to a simmer.
    • Add bok choy or spinach if desired.

  4. Assemble the Soup

    • Place cooked wontons into serving bowls.
    • Pour hot broth over the top and garnish with green onions.

  5. Serve Hot
    Enjoy immediately while the wontons are tender and flavorful!

🌟 Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a dash of chili oil or a few drops of rice vinegar before serving.
  • Use store-bought wonton wrappers for convenience.
  • You can freeze uncooked wontons for quick future meals.
