This was a delicious recipe and very easy - just a little time consuming with all the wonton wrapping. The only problem I came across was not having enough liquid while cooking the wontons. It came out alright although I was worried there wasn't enough liquid to cook them properly at first. Next time I will add more liquid. But I was still very pleased with this recipe. Thanks!

I was a bit intimidated at the thought of making this, but it was a huge hit. I've made it several times since and I freeze the wontons on a cookie sheet and transfer them to a zip-lock bag. When making the broth, I cook the wontons first, otherwise the soup thickens. Also, use cubed or canned broth. The powdered broth is a bit slimey.

Absolutely delicious! I made this soup for Chinese New Year this year and it was fantastic! My family couldn't get enough of it, there was even "words" over who would get the leftovers. I used ground chicken breasts instead of pork and no shrimp (personal preference) but followed the rest to a "T". I found that if you cooked the wontons in boiling water first, then put them in the soup 10 minutes before serving, the resulting soup was flavourful but not murky or cloudy.

Loved this soup -- and I can have as many wontons as I want. :-) It does make a lot more than 24 wontons -- I used up a whole 12 oz package of wrappers. I used my Kitchenaid mixer's meat grinding attachment to grind up the pork and shrimp (and the onion, but that kind of liquified). I also simmered white pepper, a couple tablespoons of dry sherry and sliced fresh ginger (removed later) in the chicken broth to give it more of an Asian flavor.

This was excellent! I took some reviewers' advice and omitted the sugar and shrimp, used ground pork and doubled the ginger. Also added a can of sliced water chestnuts and some baby bok choy to the chicken stock. Can't wait to have it again soon!

very simple and delicious! i definitely recommend using ground pork because it is more authentic and easier to work w/. i saw that a few people omitted shrimp but i thought it added a great flavor and consistency. i also substituted rice vinegar for rice wine because i bought the wrong thing but it still came out great! my boyfriend and i both love ginger so i added just an extra bit. i didn't have any problems w/ the wontons becoming gooey as i read in some reviews, and i had boiled it directly in the stock because that seemed to be easiest. i garnished the wonton soup w/ green onions but also added cilantro and just a dash of sesame oil. yummy! some tips i would give would be to not overstuff and when you are making the wontons, lightly flour a baking sheet to line them up as you go. i doubled the batch and left the rest in the fridge and found the bottoms to be just a bit sticky.

Excellent recipe. A quick hint for saving wontons for the freezer. Freeze individually on a cookie sheet, toss in a freezer bag and you can retrieve as many as you want. Good sauted for unexpected guests when you need something to munch on.

I'm so excited! Mine came out tasting EXACTLY like my local Chinese restaurant!! I tried everything to keep these from falling apart, (used egg wash, boiled separately), they still end up leaking the stuffing a bit. I think its unavoidable, but it doesnt take anything away from the flavor of the soup!

This was really good, but not as good as in a restaurant. I was'nt able to get the Wontons perfectly shaped like the professionals, but practice makes perfect, right? I'll make it again. Thanx for sharing!

This soup was very good. I added vegetables like mushrooms, carrots, peas and broccoli. Just the way that I buy it at my local Chinese restaurant. Will make again.

Unfortunately we are one of the minority on this one...I don't know what went wrong, but we really just didn't like this that much. I couldn't finish this...and hubby said that it was "ok". I don't think that we will use this again. Thanks for the post, anyway.

This recipe was absolutely fantasic. I recently moved to a new town and could not find a Chinese Resturant with Wonton Soup that I liked so I decided to try making my own! I made the Wonton Wrappers (listed on this site) and I substituted the Chinese rice wine with vinegar, and I used chicken broth and ground pork. There was a lot of meat left over so I will put it in the freezer for my next soup!

This was very yummy. Made a few changes, first, grated the ginger, and a clove of garlic, and used ground pork. Also threw in a dash of sesame oil, left out the shrimp and brown sugar altogether, and put a little more green onion, cause we LOVE green onions in this house!! To the broth, I added some chopped baby bok choy and sliced mushrooms, MORE green onions =) and threw it all in the pot at the same time as the wontons.... so so so so GOOD!! Been wanting to make a wonton soup for awhile, thanks for the sharing!!

This is a great recipe and much easier to prepare than I originally anticipated! I did add a large clove of garlic and more green onion than called for (about one full onion) and I liked this change. Next time I make these wonton's I think I will try adding more shrimp, some water chestnuts and maybe some bok choy.

it's a good starting point. but there were important things i felt you left out. you shouldn't moisten the edges with water.. instead, mix in one egg per pound of meat you use in your stuffing prior to stuffing the wontons. it helps to keep everything together

I used chicken and I roasted the chicken in the oven. Then, I put it in the food processor which gave it a nice texture. Then, I added the spices and they came out great. I really enjoyed this authentic tasting recipe for wonton soup.

I challenge anyone eating this to guess that it wasn't bought in a Chinese restaurant! I used ground chicken instead of the pork and the shrimp, and I also added some sesame oil. I substituted cilantro for the green onion in the dumplings, but did add the green onion to the overall soup. Wrapping the won tons was a little time consuming (I doubled the recipe), but not difficult and well worth the effort.

I used pork hamburger instead of pork loin. I mixed the pork hamburger with the chopped shrimp,I added 1/2 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 can chopped water chesnuts,1 sliver fresh ginger, 1 tsp sugar, 3 green onion, salt and white pepper 1 tsp. mixed this all up made the wontons I boiled them separately and set aside. I added to the chicken broth BBQ pork chopped, green onion, carrot that i cut into florets, baby bok choy and bean sprouts. Boiled this until the veggies were almost done. add salt and pepper to taste. When I serve the soup I serve the broth and then each person can add their own wontons to as many as they would like. I found if i boiled the wontons in the soup broth it made the broth too thick this way if there are any left over wontons they can just be reheated separately again as the broth. I find the wontons also fall apart if cooked in the broth. I hope this helps my 6 and 7 year old love to help make the wontons.
