The Best wonton and noodle soup recipe

I love making wonton and noodle soup because it is warm, filling, and reminds me of takeout but better. My kids always ask for this soup on cold days, and I feel good serving it because it has vegetables and protein. It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner but also special enough for when we have guests over. The wontons are soft and the noodles are satisfying, and the broth comes together easily with simple ingredients. I like that I can make a big batch and freeze some for later. This recipe is a regular in our home because it makes everyone happy without a lot of fuss.

🥘Ingredients

For the Wontons

1/2 pound ground pork
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 package wonton wrappers (about 50 wrappers)

For the Soup

6 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
8 ounces dried egg noodles or wonton noodles
1 cup baby spinach or bok choy
Salt to taste

For Garnish

Sliced green onions
Sesame seeds

👨‍🍳Directions

1Make the wonton filling. In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and white pepper. Mix well.
2Assemble the wontons. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Put about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing out air. Bring the two bottom corners together and pinch to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
3Make the broth. In a large pot, combine chicken broth, water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4Cook the noodles. In a separate pot, cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
5Cook the wontons. Bring the broth back to a gentle boil. Drop in the wontons, a few at a time, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they float and are cooked through.
6Add the spinach. Stir in the spinach or bok choy and cook for 1 minute until wilted.
7Serve. Divide the cooked noodles among bowls. Ladle the wontons and broth over the noodles. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Wonton and Noodle Soup

1. Can I use store bought wonton wrappers?

Yes, store bought wonton wrappers work perfectly for this recipe. They save time and are easy to find in most grocery stores in the refrigerated section. Just keep them covered with a damp cloth so they do not dry out while you work.

2. How do I prevent wontons from sticking together?

To prevent sticking, place the assembled wontons on a baking sheet dusted with a little cornstarch or flour. Keep them in a single layer and do not let them touch. If you are not cooking them right away, you can freeze them on the sheet and then transfer to a bag.

3. Can I make this soup ahead of time?

You can make the broth and cook the noodles ahead of time, but it is best to cook the wontons fresh. If you store cooked wontons in the soup, they can get soggy. I recommend assembling everything and cooking the wontons just before serving.

4. What kind of noodles should I use?

I like using dried egg noodles or fresh wonton noodles. You can also use ramen noodles or even spaghetti in a pinch. The key is to cook them separately and add them to the bowl so they do not overcook in the broth.

5. Can I add other vegetables to the soup?

Absolutely. You can add sliced mushrooms, carrots, or bok choy. Just add them to the broth when you add the spinach so they have time to soften. This is a great way to use up leftover vegetables in your fridge.
