Ingredients for your Easy Wonton Soup Recipe
Wontons
1 package of wonton wrappers (of 48 wrappers)
1 pound of ground pork
2 shallots minced
2 green onions minced
1 egg
1 tablespoon of fish sauce
1 teaspoon of fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of Swanson Chicken Broth
Broth
3 boxes of Swanson Chicken Broth
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1 green onion sliced
3 slices of ginger
Directions to Make your Easy Wonton Soup Recipe
First, cut up some shallots.
Put it in with the ground pork in a large bowl for mixing.
Next up are the minced green onions.
Put it into a bowl with a pound of ground pork.
Add an egg for binding.
Add in the rest of the ingredients: black pepper, fish sauce, and salt.
Mix it with your hands.
Next, get ready to wrap. For binding the wonton wrappers, pour a 1/4 cup of chicken broth.
Now, spoon in some of the ground pork mixture onto a wrapper.
Then, dip your hand into the broth and wet the top of the wonton. Just like this:
Fold in half, and in half again and press it together to bind the wonton ends.
Now, batch process it 🙂
This is the fun part y'all:
Here, I'm getting my steamer ready to steam the wontons.
And I'm also starting the soup base in another pot.
For the soup base, I've sliced some green onions and ginger.
To flavor the broth, I placed it in there.
Going back to the steamer, steam the wontons for 10 minutes. Set aside until the broth is ready. Note: We steam it instead of putting it directly in the broth so it doesn't get soggy and mushy.
Once you are ready to serve, place the steamed wontons in the boiling soup base for 5 minutes. Ladle into a bowl with a sprinkling of fresh ground pepper. Serve!

Hi Abigail,
The steaming should cook it in addition to adding it to the boiling broth!
