directions

  • Chop the raw chicken breasts into very fine pieces and place in a medium bowl.
  • Add green onions, ginger, sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce,salt, pepper and oil. Marinate for at least 1/2 hour.
  • Place the broth ingredients in a large pot (dutch oven) and bring to simmer.
  • Fill the won ton wrappers by placing about 1/2 teaspoon of filling into the center of each wrapper, moisten edges with water or egg white and fold into a triangle. Press edges to seal.
  • Using a dutch oven, or large pot, bring about 8 cups of water to a boil.
  • Drop the won tons into the boiling water a few at a time so that they are not over crowded (maybe 10 - 12 won tons) and let cook for about 5 - 7 minutes. They will float to the top as they cook.
  • Remove from boiling water with slotted spoon and place the won tons directly into the broth.
  • Simmer 10-15 minutes longer, then serve.

  1. I made this in two stages as I had to be in an out all day. I did the wontons in the morning and when it was time for dinner it came together in about 15 minutes. I used homemade chicken stock and must not have salted it because I did have to add some. We both loved it and I will be making this many times. The Wonton soup in the can is gross IMO and I like knowing that quality ingredients are nestled in the wontons and not some 'mystery mush'. I served this with Rgg Rolls for an asian soup and sandwich meal.<br/>If you like wonton soup you have to try this one!<br/>Thanks so much for sharing Mumstheword!
     
  2. The soup was okay. There were too many noodles in it. My wontons seemed to just fall apart after cooking. I think the simmer time needed to be less. Also a little less ginger.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I have two teenage children and am very happily married. We live in Southern, Ontario.&nbsp; <br /><br />I live to cook and just love to putter around the kitchen. I enjoy reading all kinds of cookbooks which I borrow from the library or buy second hand. I really like Taste of Home magazine, because the recipes are from ordinary people and aren't too complicated. I also like to read community or church cookbooks because you know that the recipe must be special for someone to share it. <br /><br />I discovered RecipeZaar because it was mentioned by someone in a cooking magazine...now I am hooked. I think it is so helpful to read the reviews and suggestions from others who have tried recipes before me. <br /><br />I always thought of myself as a pretty good cook, but I am learning so much since I have joined RecipeZaar. I really appreciate the ideas and feed back that everyone provides.</p> 114172283"
