Wonton soup is a classic and comforting Chinese dish that has gained international popularity for its delicate flavors and satisfying textures. This traditional soup features wontons, which are small, filled dumplings, floating in a savory and aromatic broth. The wontons are typically filled with a mixture of ground meat, such as pork or shrimp, along with seasonings like soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. The filling is carefully enclosed in a thin dough wrapper, creating bite-sized pockets of flavor.
The broth, a key component of wonton soup, is often made by simmering chicken or pork bones with a combination of aromatic ingredients like ginger, garlic, and green onions. This slow-cooking process allows the broth to develop a rich and savory taste, creating a flavorful base for the entire dish. Some variations of wonton soup may also incorporate ingredients like dried shrimp or mushrooms to enhance the umami depth of the broth.
