Tips for the Best Wonton Soup:
- Stock Quality Matters: Using a good quality vegetable and chicken stock will make a huge difference in the flavor of your soup. You can even use homemade if you have the time!
- Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so add it towards the end of the cooking time to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap out the vegetables we used for your favorites. Bok choy, spinach, or snap peas would all be delicious additions.
- Spice it Up: Add a dash of chili garlic sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve your Easy Wonton Soup hot, garnished with extra sliced green onions. A side of spring rolls or a light salad would complete the meal perfectly.
