Description
Easy 10-minute Wonton Soup is made with a light, savory chicken broth and tender wontons. It’s a quick, comforting meal for busy nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8-12 wontons, fresh or frozen (I use chicken and cilantro wontons)
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups water, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon green onions, sliced
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add chicken stock, 1 cup of water, and salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add wontons and cook until they float to the top, about 5 minutes.
- Add one cup of cold water and let the wontons float to the top again, about 5 more minutes.
- Once the wontons float to the top again, add soy sauce and sesame oil and goive the soup a gentle stir.
- Use a slotted spoon to scoop the wontons out and place into a large soup bowl. Top up with the soup base. Garnish with cilantro and green onions and serve hot.
Notes
Storage: Refrigerate leftover soup in an airtight container for 3-4 days, within 2 hours of cooking, and store the garnishes separately. Reheat on the stove until piping hot. To freeze, freeze the chilled soup base for 3-6 months and thaw in the fridge. Uncooked wontons can be frozen, but cooked dumplings cannot.
