Weeknight wonton soup is a quick and easy meal that can be on the table in under 30 minutes. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and protein, and it's a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. Wonton soup is also a great meal to make ahead of time and freeze for later. Simply cook the soup according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Once it's cool, transfer the soup to freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat, simply thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator or reheat it over low heat on the stovetop.

Provided by Sylvia Fountaine

Categories     main

Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 leek, white parts, thinly sliced (or sub 1 shallot or ½ cup onion)
4 slices ginger (the size of a quarter, leave peels on- or 1 tablespoon ginger paste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups chicken broth ( or veggie broth)
10-14 wontons ( chicken, shrimp or vegetarian)
salt and lemon juice to taste
a couple handful of chopped greens- baby spinach, arugula, bok choy, chopped kale
garnish options: scallions, cilantro, sesame seeds, chili flakes or sriracha

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, saute the leeks and ginger in oil, over medium heat, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the broth, cover, and bring to a boil.
  • Add the wontons and simmer according to directions on the package ( 3-5 minutes- depending on size) They normally float when cooked through.
  • Taste the broth and add salt and a squeeze of lemon if you like. I like mine quite lemony, but season to your own taste.
  • Drop in the greens, cooking until wilted. Spinach will take 45 seconds, kale will take longer.
  • Divide among two bowls and sprinkle with any of the garnishes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely diced
1/2 pound ground pork
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
16 wonton wrappers
1 large egg, beaten
2 quarts cold water
2 to 3 ounces low-sodium chicken base
One 1-inch piece ginger, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, smashed
3 scallions, smashed and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 whole black peppercorns or a pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
2 to 3 drops sesame oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Kosher salt
4 ounces noodles, such as spaghetti or dried instant ramen
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • For the wonton filling: Place the shrimp, pork, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the oyster sauce and sesame oil in a medium bowl and mix with your hands to combine. Let marinate while you prepare the stock. (If time allows, marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight; refrigerate if marinating for more than 2 hours.)
  • For the broth: Bring 2 quarts water to a simmer in a large saucepan or pot and whisk in the chicken base until completely dissolved. Add the remaining broth ingredients and let simmer for at least 5 minutes.
  • Continue making the wontons: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of 1 wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with some of the beaten egg. Pinch in all the sides to make a small sack, enclosing the filling. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
  • For the noodles: Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. During the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking time, add the wontons and continue to boil until the wontons are cooked through and float to the top. Drain the noodles and wontons.
  • For the assembly: Ladle 2 cups of the broth into each of 4 deep bowls. Divide the noodles and wontons among the bowls. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use wonton wrappers that are fresh or have been thawed properly. Stale or frozen wonton wrappers will not seal properly and will break apart in the soup.
  • Fill the wontons with a variety of ingredients. This will give the soup more flavor and texture. Some popular fillings include pork, shrimp, chicken, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the wontons. Overstuffed wontons will be difficult to seal and will break apart in the soup.
  • To seal the wontons, wet the edges of the wrappers with water. Then, fold the wrappers over the filling and press the edges together firmly.
  • Cook the wontons in a large pot of boiling water. Cook the wontons for 3-4 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the wonton soup immediately. Garnish the soup with green onions, cilantro, and/or sesame seeds.
