What Is Wonton Soup?
Boiled wontons and vegetables are the main ingredients of wonton soup, a flavorful broth-based soup. This tasty Chinese soup gains a great deal of flavor and complexity from the soft wonton dumplings filled with ground pork and spices. My dish has a ton of bok choy and fresh mushrooms in it. Chinese cabbage, or bok choy, offers the most delicious texture!

Variations and Add-In Ideas
There are countless ways to prepare this simple wonton soup. You have the option to vary the flavors of the broth, allowing your guests to select which flavor to go with their wonton dumplings and veggies! Here are some additional ideas for ingredients to add to this flavorful wonton soup.
Ideas for Vegetables: Bell peppers, broccoli florets, and shredded carrots are just a few examples of vegetables you can add. There are countless alternatives, and I enjoy experimenting with different flavors by swapping up the vegetables.
Consider Adding Protein: Tofu, roasted chicken, or fresh shrimp would all taste fantastic in this soup.
Switch Up the Greens: Try using fresh spinach, cabbage, or kale in instead of baby bok choy. With the added nutrients and texture of greens, you can’t go wrong.
Make it Spicy: If you’re as crazy about heat as I am, up the ante with some white pepper, red chili flakes, or sriracha sauce.
Storing Leftover Wonton Soup
Make a big batch of this delicious soup and save it to eat throughout the week. It warms up perfectly and the flavors are still better than ever! Follow my instructions below for storing and reheating this incredible soup.
Keep any leftover soup and wontons sealed in the refrigerator for up to four days. Even though they can soften a little, leftover wontons in the soup taste great when reheated. To keep them from getting mushy in the soup, you can refrigerate and seal them separately in a different container.
To Reheat: Warm the soup thoroughly by reheating it in the microwave or over the stove for a few minutes. While warming up the soup on the stove, I like to add another batch of frozen wonton noodles to the pot.
