Why You’ll Love This Soup!
Quick! Wonton soup is the perfect family meal. It is delicious, a favorite of my kids, and it only takes 15 minutes to make.
Easy to Make! It is so easy to make, using frozen wontons. I prefer to use chicken wontons, but there are so many flavors available, you can use whatever flavor your family prefers.
Ingredients Needed
- Green Onions
- Chicken Broth or chicken stock.
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Wontons. I use store-bought frozen wontons.
- Napa Cabbage. Napa cabbage is different than green cabbage. There is a difference in texture, shape, and flavor. Green cabbage could used if necessary but I much prefer napa cabbage.
- Sesame Oil
- Sesame Seeds
How to Make Wonton Soup
- Combine chicken broth, water, ginger, garlic and a portion of the green onions in a large pot.
- Bring to a boil and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes for flavors to come together.
- Strain out garlic and green onions if desired.
- Return soup to a boil and add in frozen Wontons.
- Cook the wontons in the broth according to the time on the package directions. You want tender wontons.
- Add in cabbage a few minutes before the end of the cooking time.
- Remove from heat and add in sesame oil.
- Pour into individual serving bowls and garnish with freshly sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Tips
- The amount of wontons you use will depend on their size. If they are small I added about 25. If larger, use less.
- If you want the cabbage crunchier, just add it in right before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flavor of wontons should I use?
You can use whatever you prefer. I have used chicken, shrimp, ground pork and wontons with vegetables.
Can I freeze wonton soup?
If you are going to freeze it, I would freeze it in an airtight container before I add in the wontons. Thaw the soup when ready to enjoy, reheat and add in and cook the wontons right before serving.
