I’ve been wanting to make Wonton Soup for months and I don’t know why it took me so long. It’s so easy and you can throw it together in minutes! You will need store bought wontons for a quick recipe though. I used the Bibigo Mini Wontons – Chicken and Cilantro which I purchased from Costco.
In a medium or large sauce pan combine 4 cups water, 3 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon (I also get mine at Costco) or 3 cups chicken stock and 1 cup water. Bring to boil. Add wontons and salt. When the wontons float to the top, add one cup of cold water. Return to a boil. Once the wontons float to the top again, add soy sauce and sesame oil. Add cilantro and green onion.
I always add more fresh cilanto and green onions once I serve it. I love cilantro! The more the merrier for me.
If you have a bag of wontons in your freezer like I did then you need to make this soup. This is also a great starter for any Asian food inspired meal. Try it with a side of rice, it will taste great!
Enjoy!!!
