A comforting and flavorful wonton soup featuring tender pork-filled wontons, fresh bok choy, and a savory chicken broth. Perfect for a quick, nourishing meal that warms you up from the inside out.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz ground pork or chicken (fresh and lean)
  • 1 package wonton wrappers (about 50 wrappers)
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of white pepper
  • 6 cups chicken broth (homemade or low sodium store-bought)
  • 2 cups chopped bok choy (baby or regular)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce (for broth seasoning)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms, chili flakes or fresh sliced chili

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly for about 5 minutes.
  2. Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten edges with water, fold into a triangle, and press edges to seal. Bring opposite corners together and pinch to close. Keep wontons covered with a damp cloth.
  3. In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a gentle boil. Add minced garlic, soy sauce, and mushrooms if using. Simmer for 5 minutes to infuse flavors.
  4. Carefully drop wontons into simmering broth. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for 4-5 minutes until wontons float and filling is cooked through. Avoid vigorous boiling.
  5. Add chopped bok choy and cook for 2 more minutes until tender but still crisp and bright green.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or soy sauce if needed. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Keep wonton wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying. Use cold water to moisten edges for a tight seal. Maintain a gentle simmer to avoid breaking wontons. Blanch bok choy separately for extra crispness if desired. Freeze assembled wontons on a tray before storing for up to 2 months.
