This was very good!!! Next time I might do the buillon powder with water just to see if I can get the flavor even closer to the wonton soup at my favorite Chinese restaurant. This one was a tad bit saltier but still very close and very good! Thanks!!

This was my first time eating (and making) wonton soup, and wasn't sure what to expect. As a first timer, I think wonton soup is in its nature a bit bland, so I'm sure for wonton soup this is a great recipe. Next time I will add a little of my favorite spices to give it some kick.

So awesome! I diced up spinach leaves and shredded carrot & boiled them in with the soup, I used just a few cans of broth, but then the cubes...

This was amazing. I used chicken cubes and the paste to make the broth to my taste. I enjoy saving money. I used probally 12 cups of water by the time it was done. The wontons turned out very delicious. Not hard to make at all just time consuming. I also used dried shitake mushrooms which gave it more of that deep earthy taste, I really was not a fan of that. I will use traditional mushrooms next time. I also used shrimp that made it taste yum!! Thanks for the recipe!!!

this was really really good. i subbed DRIED shitake mushrooms for fresh. they are alot stronger and add much deeper flavour to the chicken broth so you can add a little less if you go this route. also, i used napa/chinese cabbage instead of bok choy. it turned out really really delicious.

This was my virgin voyage in making homemade wontons and I'm thrilled to say that this recipe was a huge hit with my family. The pound of pork made more than enough filling so I froze what was left and will use it to make egg rolls next week. Took love2cook's advice and simmered the wontons separately from the soup. Great suggestion. Thank you Starry Night for a great recipe!!

Easy to make and super tasty. My husband orders wonton soup with every take out chinese meal and said this had the best flavor. Makes a lot so serve a crowd or be prepared to eat it again for lunch and lunch and lunch...

I grew up with my mother making wonton soup on cold days. One tip I can offer is boiling the wontons separately from the broth in just plain water, 3-5 min or until they float to the top. The reason being, the wonton wrappers are dusted with flour and it can cloud the broth or slightly thicken it. Wonton broth is supposed to be clear and thin. After boiling the wontons strain and add to the soup. The water can be discarded.

This is a great recipe. I made it exactly as written except I made a half recipe and it was perfect for two as a main course with a side of Chinese ribs. You can adjust it with different vegies but the recipe is a real keeper. MSO said it was better than we get at our favorite Chinese cafe. Thanks Starry Night.

Absolutely wonderful. I altered the recipe a little b/c I didn't have all the ingredients, but it was still fantastic. This is also a wonderful base recipe, as you can add more vegetables or seasoning to get exactly what you want. The ONLY thing is, the recipe itself makes A LOT, and I would actually suggest halving it. oh, and if anyone is reluctant to try this b/c making wontons sounds difficult, its really SO easy. Thank you so much for such a wonderful treat!
