Ingredients for Easy Wonton Soup with Light Broth & Juicy Dumplings
How to Make Easy Wonton Soup with Tender Dumplings & Clear Broth
- Start by preparing the filling. In a bowl, mix the ground chicken with green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined — don’t overwork it, or the wontons can turn dense.
- Place a small amount of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges with water, then fold and seal. Don’t overfill — it makes them harder to seal and cook evenly.
- Bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer. If you want a bit more depth, you can add a slice of ginger here — it makes a subtle difference.
- Drop the wontons into the simmering broth. Let them cook for about 4–5 minutes. They’ll float when ready, but give them a minute more to be sure the filling is fully cooked.
- Taste the broth and adjust seasoning. If it feels flat, a little more soy sauce usually helps.
- Add optional greens like spinach or bok choy right at the end — they cook quickly and keep the soup fresh.
- Serve hot.
