Got 10 minutes? That's all it takes to make this easy wonton soup recipe. The shortcut wonton soup can be a starter for your Asian dinner, or make it a meal by serving this simple soup recipe with egg rolls or crab rangoons. The shortcut secret in this recipe is using frozen wontons instead of making them homemade, which takes a lot of time and some practice.
The unbelievably easy high-protein wonton soup recipe starts with chicken broth, garlic and ginger, which cooks about five minutes to infuse the flavors. Frozen wontons are added and cooked until tender. Stir in a little soy sauce and sesame oil, and you have a flavorful wonton soup in no time. Don't forget to sprinkle with fresh chopped green onions for freshness and even more flavor (plus you get the health benefits of green onions, also known as scallions).
Cooking Tip: Some people like to strain their wonton soup broth. Some ginger and garlic floating in my broth does not bother me a bit, but if you prefer a totally smooth broth, pour it through a mesh strainer.
Serve this flavorful wonton soup for lunch or dinner. This rich dumpling soup could also be a starter for an Asian dinner. The soup packs up nicely for meal prepping, too.

Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced thin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 24 ounces (1 package) frozen wontons (I use pork wontons, but use your favorite)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- green onions, chopped, for serving (optional)
Here's how to make it:
- Pour the chicken broth into a soup pot. Add the ginger and garlic. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes.
- Add the frozen wontons and cook until wontons are heated through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Use whatever type of frozen wonton you like – vegetable, shrimp, pork or chicken. Some Asian restaurants and dumpling houses may even sell you some uncooked wontons. Ask! If not, check your grocer's freezer section.
- Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. (To reduce the sodium, use low-sodium soy sauce.) Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave.
