Recipe Tips

• Can I use fresh wontons instead of frozen? Yes, just reduce the final cook time slightly to prevent them from getting too soft.
• How to make it spicy: Add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes during cooking for more heat.
• Can I use chicken thighs? Absolutely—boneless, skinless thighs add extra flavor and stay tender.
• How to keep wontons from falling apart: Add them at the very end and avoid over-stirring once added.
• Can I add vegetables? Bok choy, mushrooms, or spinach can be stirred in with the wontons.

What To Serve With Wonton Soup

This cozy soup pairs well with light sides for a full meal:

• Steamed or fried rice
• Asian cucumber salad
• Spring rolls or egg rolls
• Stir-fried green beans
• Jasmine or brown rice

How To Store Wonton Soup

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.

Freeze: For best texture, freeze the soup without the wontons. Add fresh wontons when reheating.
