Notes

The ideas are endless when making this easy wonton soup. You can even switch up the broth flavors, and guests can choose which broth flavor to add their wonton dumplings and vegetables to! Here are some extra ingredient suggestions for this savory wonton soup.
  • Vegetable Ideas: Shredded carrots, broccoli florets, and bell peppers are just a few veggie ideas you can add. 
  • Try Adding Protein: Fresh shrimp, cooked chicken, or tofu would be incredible in this soup.
  • Can't find Bok Choy: Try using fresh spinach, cabbage, or kale. If using spinach, add it towards the very end right before service.  This delicate green can become watery and mushy if cooked like kale, bok choy, or cabbage.
  • Give it a kick: If you love a spicy kick,  add a little heat with white pepper, red chili flakes, drizzle of sriracha sauce, or chili crisp oil over the top.
