Unwrapped Wonton Soup

Unwrapped Wonton Soup is a quick shortcut for a favorite soup recipe!

This soup has all the great flavors of a classic wonton soup without the tedious task of wrapping the wontons! Add in veggies (and even shrimp) for the perfect meal.

Quick & Easy

Tiny meatballs made from ground pork (or chicken or shrimp) are simmered in a flavorful ginger-sesame broth.

Making wonton flavored meatballs saves on prep time but truly tastes as good as good as the original! The wonton meatballs can be made ahead of time and frozen and then tossed right into the broth to defrost and cook!

Ingredients

BROTH Flavored with sesame oil, ginger, and garlic this chicken broth base is packed with delicious Asian flavors!

MEATBALLS Wontons are traditionally made from ground pork but chicken or turkey work too. The meatballs add both the texture and flavor you love in your favorite wonton soup recipe.

VEGGIES For convenience we love to add in frozen Asian mixed vegetables to this recipe. If adding fresh veggies, try snow peas, chopped broccoli, water chestnuts, baby corn, and Chinese cabbage to name a few.

NOODLES Toss in some premade egg noodles, they only require about 3-4 minutes to fully cook! If you’re going to be saving leftovers, cook the noodles on the side and add them to each bowl.

To make wonton soup a little spicy, try adding a tiny bit of Sriracha!

How To Make Unwrapped Wonton Soup

Without wrapped wontons, this simple soup is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Make meatballs and add to simmering broth.
2. Add remaining ingredients, except egg noodles and green onions, and cook over medium heat.
3. Add the egg noodles and cook until tender (per recipe below).

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

How To Store Leftovers

To reheat,  put in a pot on the stove and bring it up to medium heat. Add a few splashes of soy sauce and some extra minced garlic and ginger and serve!

Store cooked noodles in a separate bowl if you’re saving leftovers. If left in the broth too long, they’ll soak up the liquid and get mushy.
