Homemade wonton soup in a white bowl with wontons, sliced green onions, and chili crisp in a clear golden broth, with chopsticks resting on the bowl

Wonton Soup

This quick and easy wonton soup is a flavorful weeknight meal made with frozen Bibigo chicken cilantro wontons from Costco — no homemade wontons needed. The wontons are already cooked, so they just take a few minutes to boil, and the broth gets extra flavor from sautéed green onions, garlic, and ginger, seasoned with soup soy sauce. Ready in 20 minutes.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp oil Avocado, canola, or any neutral flavored oil will work
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 green onion stalks Plus additional for garnish
  • 10 cups chicken broth I used homemade chicken bone broth but you can use store bought broth
  • 2 tbsp soup soy sauce You can substitute soup soy sauce with regular soy sauce but use a little more
  • 6 cups frozen wontons I use Bibigo chicken cilantro wontons from Costco
  • 1/8 tsp ground white pepper You can use black pepper
  • Chili garlic sauce or chili oil for topping *optional
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and cook the wontons according to package instructions.
  • Use the handle of your knife to pound the white part of the green onion stalks into the cutting board to release the flavors
  • Add oil to another large pot and saute green onion stalks under medium heat for about a minute and then add garlic and ginger. If you don’t like garlic and ginger chunks in your soup, grate it into the pot. Saute until the garlic just starts to turn golden and fragrant (about 1 min).
  • Carefully pour in the broth and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, then use tongs to discard the green onion stalks.
  • Add soup soy sauce and white ground pepper to broth. If the broth is not salty enough, add regular salt as needed to taste.
  • Add the cooked wontons to individual bowls and ladle in the broth. Garnish with green onions and top with chili garlic sauce or chili oil to add a spicy kick (*optional)

Notes

  • Add bok choy, mushrooms, or spinach to make the soup more filling, or add shrimp or cooked noodles for a heartier wonton noodle soup.
  • Toppings are optional — I like chili garlic sauce or chili oil plus extra green onions or cilantro at the end.
