The weathers been rainy, windy and rather nasty this last week leaving our family craving our favorite comfort foods like Wonton Soup.

It's light yet hearty, and full of lots of veggies! I used ground pork to fill the wontons but you could easily substitute it with ground chicken or turkey, for a healthier option. The flavors of this soup are amazing and it's the only way I've been able to fulfill my Wonton Soup cravings since our favorite Chinese food joint changed owners.

The hardest part of making Wonton Soup is filling the wrappers, it can be a little time consuming the first few times you make them. I will usually enlist the kids or Colt to help fold the dumplings. 

Sometimes we make the wontons ahead of time so all that needs to be done is dropping them in the soup. They can even be frozen individually on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper, and then moved to a ziplock bag until ready to use. Just drop the frozen wontons into the soup, and cook until done! Since the wontons are frozen cooking time will take a little bit longer.

If your having a hard time finding Wonton Wrappers at the grocery store they are usually located near the fresh produce, in the refrigerator section. The last time I sent Colt to the store I forgot to tell him this little piece of important information! Oops!

Wonton Soup is definitely worth the time it takes to make! The flavors are amazing, and it is always a highly requested soup in our house. It's the perfect comfort food on a wet, cold, and windy day.

To make the Wonton Soup Base: Heat 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil over medium-high heat. (I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

Add:

• 4 cloves Minced Garlic
• 1 medium Sliced Shallot
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Grated Ginger

Cook until fragrant.

Stir in 8 ounces Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms with the woody stems removed, and cook until softened.

I am missing the next set of pictures so you'll just have to imagine stirring in: 

• 10 cups Chicken Stock
• 2 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Chili Garlic Paste
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce

Cut 4 whole Peeled Carrots on the bias: Slice top of carrot off at an angle, continue slicing carrot at the same angle to form oval slices of carrot.

Carrots cut on the bias will look like this when finished.

Add to soup and bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook while making wontons until carrots are tender.

To make Wontons stir together: 

• 1 pound Ground Pork
• 1 whole Egg Yolk
• 3 cloves Minced Garlic
• 3 whole Sliced Thin Green Onions
• 2 tablespoons Grated Fresh Ginger
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seed Oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili Garlic Paste

To Assemble stir together:

• 1 Egg White
• 1 tablespoon Water

Until well combined.

Take 1 Fresh Wonton Wrapper and place about 3/4 tablespoon of Pork Filling in center of wrapper.

Brush egg white mixture on all 4 edges.

Fold 1 corner to the opposite corner. Press filling towards center and seal both edges tightly together, pushing any air out.

Brush a little egg white mixture on opposite corners and press corners together.

Repeat until all of the pork mixture has been used.

Tip: Wontons can be frozen on a parchment lined baking sheet for later use at this point, once frozen transfer to a ziploc bag. Add frozen wontons directly to soup when ready to use.

Stir wontons into simmering broth and cook for 4 minutes until wontons start to float to the top of soup. Stir 2-3 times to make sure wontons aren't sticking to the bottom of pot.

Stir in:

• 3 small Sliced Thin Baby Bok Choy
• 8 ounces Drained Sliced Bamboo Shoots
• 3 whole Sliced Thin Green Onions
• 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seed Oil

Cook until bok choy turns bright green and tender, about 5 minutes.

Serve Wonton Soup with additional Soy Sauce, Chili Garlic Paste, Sriracha Hot Sauce, and any other desired condiments!
