This was great! I made it with my own homemade chicken stock and added fresh grated ginger. Exceptional! Thank you Allrecipes.com!

I am new to the won ton game..but my man loves won ton soup and was bugging me to make it...I finally gave in and looked at several recipes..This one seemed easy enough..I prepared it as exactly written..I was a little skeptical but made my little won tons..which was a little time consuming but my boyfriend helped and it was fun! I boiled the won tons in water before adding them to the broth and the end product was AMAZING! I have never tasted such wonderful soup like this.It was so filling and tasted so fresh! My boyfriend thinks I'm a professional cook! Thank you starry night for sharing this recipe!

This recipe is fantastic! I used ground turkey instead of pork to cut some calories, and omitted quite a few other ingredients because either I didn't have them on hand (like shrimp) or didn't like them. I used panko breadcrumbs, EggBeaters for the egg (helps to get that 1/2 egg serving easier) and low-sodium FF chicken broth. All I added to the broth after the wontons were in was the bok choy, and it turned out great! If you want a soup with "more stuff", definitely add the shrimp and maybe some BBQ pork. The broth doesn't taste exactly like the stuff from the Chinese restaurant, but the wontons are spot on, even using lean turkey! I may play with the recipe a bit in the future to find that good broth flavor (beef stock, maybe?). I only made a half batch because I wasn't sure I'd like it, and it made a good 2-3 bowls of soup with plenty of wontons in each. Definitely making this one again!

Allow yourself plenty of time to make this - rolling the wontons is a slow process. A couple of NOTES: I followed the suggestions to boil the wontons in water separately, then add them to the soup once cooked. This was a good idea, but I let my wontons sit in the colander too long & they stuck together & some tore open - Just a warning. Also, although the recipe doesn't indicate it, I cooked my sausage on the stovetop before filling the wrappers. It didn't seem to me that the filling would have cooked in the 5-minute boil, & I didn't want to risk raw meat. It worked great -- I wonder if pre-cooking the sausage is a step missed in the instructions?? Overall, it's worth the labor as it's a very flavorful soup. Only ingredient change I made was to sub 25% of the broth with beef as that's what I've seen used in Chinese restaurants. The family LOVED it (even little ones) & I'll make it again.

We have a Chinese foreign exchange student came to our house for dinner. His eyes lit up when he saw this dish, he took a picture of it, and when he tasted it he said it was: "Delicious." We had him in our house for almost a year and have him over to dinner sometimes. He is brutally honest, so I was so happy this recipe turned out like it did. Delicious.

The broth tastes exactly like the broth at my take out restaurant. Thank you. However, I'm not liking the taste of the pork. I will use baby shrimp in my won ton wrappers next time. Thank you

This recipe is awesome. My family of six eat every bit, and I only get about 1 bowl for my lunch the next day. My only recommendation is extra broth just to give everything a little more room
