This is my mom’s recipe for wonton soup. Easy to make and delicious. Make these wontons and freeze them. You can have a snack anytime you have a craving. This is an authentic recipe, similar to the wonton soup my mom and dad cooked in their restaurant.

Recipe

1 package wonton wraps
9 chopped prawns
1 lb. ground pork
3 chopped water chestnuts
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chicken base
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon light soy sauce

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Put 1 teaspoon of ingredient in each wonton wrap. To cook, put 6 to 8 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil and add the wonton and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Wonton is cooked when they rise to the top.

Quick Soup Recipe

Add to the boiling water the following:

1 teaspoon chicken base
1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/3 teaspoon sesame oil

To make a tastier soup stock, boil water with pork bones or chicken bones. Enjoy!

    Thanks for posting the video, the pot doesn’t look it has 6 to 8 cups of
    water. I tried to make the soup, but it turned so starchy and pale looking
    after the wonton floated on top. The soup is so clear in the video, I
    don’t understand why.

    This looks awesome. So simple and yet looks so good. What brand of chicken
    base do you use? Would Knorr be OK?

    Wow! This looks really good Dan, thank you for posting! We will try it
    tomorrow for our “take out” Fridays. Crazy part about it is that I know it
    is going to be good because it already has the “Mom stamp of approval” on
    it! We’ll keep you posted!

    I cook my won tons in boiling water to keep the broth “clean.” If you cook
    the won tons in the broth you will get a cloudy broth. Boil them for no
    more than 3 minutes in boiling water only…nothing added. Any longer, the
    fragile skins will break. As soon as the won tons float to the top… they
    are perfectly cooked. REMOVE THEM IMMEDIATELY and drain in slotted spoon
    and put in bowls…top with separate broth. It’s ok to add veggies like bok
    choy or napa cabbage to the broth. This method makes a cleaner
    presentation. This is actually the traditional Chinese method.
