Ingredients
Broth
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp white pepper
Noodles
- 1 package wonton noodles or egg noodles (14 oz)
Wontons and Vegetables
- 25-30 wontons (homemade or store-bought)
- handful of bok choy
Garnish
- 2 green onions, chopped
- optional: chili oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the broth: In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, chicken bouillon, light soy sauce, salt, and white pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Cook the noodles: While the broth simmers, bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the wonton or egg noodles and cook for 45 seconds, then drain and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Blanch the bok choy: Using the same boiling water, add the bok choy and blanch it briefly until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the wontons: Gently drop the wontons into the simmering broth. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the wontons float to the surface and are cooked through.
- Assemble the soup: Divide the cooked noodles, bok choy, and wontons among serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the ingredients, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and optionally drizzle with chili oil for a spicy kick. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, comforting wonton noodle soup!
Notes
- You can use store-bought or homemade wontons depending on your preference and time constraints.
- Adjust the seasoning of the broth to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- For a spicier soup, add chili oil or fresh sliced chili peppers as garnish.
- Wonton noodles cook quickly; do not overcook to maintain their texture.
