WONTON SOUP



Wonton Soup image

I love soups, and one of my favorites is wonton soup. This version was printed in Saveur magazine. In China this dish is considered a snack rather than one course of a meal. If you have a choice, try to find a good quality, thinner, wonton wrapper at your Asian food market. The steps look long, but I've broken them down in many simple steps for clarity.

DECONSTRUCTED WONTON SOUP



Deconstructed Wonton Soup image

Wonton is one of my favorite types of soup. When I wanted to whip up a homemade version, I decided to take a shortcut and combined pork meatballs with wide egg noodles. If I have them on hand, I'll add sliced water chestnuts, barbecued pork or sesame seeds to switch it up. -Joanne Neidhamer, Tuolumne, California

Tips:

  • Use wonton wrappers that are not too thick. Thicker wrappers will not cook as evenly and will make the soup more difficult to eat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the wontons. Overcooked wontons will become tough and chewy.
