HOW TO MAKE WOR WONTON SOUP
- Your going to want to start with a good Chicken or Vegetable broth. You can of course use something as simple as Campbells Chicken stock, however it won’t tastes as authentic so I highly recommending a pre-made bone chicken broth for this recipe if you are wanting a restaurant quailty broth.
- I have tried a few varieties and this is my FAVORITE as it produces moist Wontons. This soup is made by handmaking the wontons and typically those wontons shells are pre-made by a machine and can be bought in almost any Asian market.
- Then that shell is filled with some simple ingredients before they are stuffed and rolled. Once that process is complete they are added to a pot of boiling water to cook or added to soup stock to cook
- Keep in mind the shrimp and vegetables need only mins to cook, so if your adding any add them near the last 5 minutes of the cooking process.

- Bok Choy
- Celery
- Really, whatever you have on hand can work as a veggie.
