Notes

Key Ingredients for this Homemade Wonton Soup.

The base: A good soup needs to have a strong and flavourful base. I use fresh garlic, ginger, onion, and cilantro stems to build up some flavour.

The wontons: Store-bought wontons or dumplings have been a lifesaver in my home. There is such a variety of fillings for you to pick from. You get bonus points if you pick them up from your local Asian Grocer.

The veg: I like to pop in some mushrooms for earthiness and fresh bok-choy to add a bit of crunch!
