Discover this quick and easy wonton soup recipe with savory broth, tender wontons, and fresh veggies. Ready in under 30 minutes!

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 ounces of low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups of water
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 20 wontons (your choice of filling)
  • 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 baby bok choy, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Start with the broth: In a medium pot, combine 32 ounces of low-sodium chicken broth, 2 cups of water, and your minced garlic. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil. You’ll start to smell the garlic’s fragrance as it releases into the broth, which is a sign of good things to come!
  2. Add the wontons: Once your broth is boiling, gently add in about 20 frozen wontons. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot; if your pot is on the smaller side, add fewer wontons or cook in batches. Stir them gently so they don’t stick to the bottom.
  3. Toss in the veggies: Add your chopped baby bok choy and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot. I love the way the bok choy leaves start to turn bright green as they cook—it adds such a fresh, vibrant look to the soup. Turn the heat down to medium-high and let everything simmer for about 15 minutes. You’ll know the wontons are done when they start floating to the top.
  4. Season with soy sauce and sesame oil: Once the wontons are floating and the mushrooms are tender, add in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. This adds the final layer of flavor to your broth. Give everything a gentle stir, then turn off the heat.
  5. Garnish and serve: Ladle your wonton soup into bowls, and sprinkle sliced green onions on top for a fresh, oniony kick. Serve right away while it’s piping hot!

Notes

If you have leftovers, let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to reheat, do so gently on the stove over medium heat until warmed through—avoid bringing it to a full boil, as this can cause the wontons to break apart.

Unfortunately, wonton soup doesn’t freeze well, as the texture of the wontons can get a bit mushy after thawing. So, it’s best to enjoy it fresh or within a couple of days.
