I am a big fan of Wonton soup. Everytime having food in Asian Restaurant, my family just automatically calls for me a bowl of Wonton soup. I like to eat when it is still hot. I totally don’t care about the sweat. If you are tired of having too much meat. This is a good rest to calm your stomach.
Pf Chang’s Wontons Soup has soup from chicken broth, the natural sweet from mushroom and vegetable, so simple, so so fresh. Wontons are soft and juicy inside. It shocks you every single bite.
Now, I don’t need to go to the Asian Restaurant to order a bowl of Wontons Soup for me since I found this easy recipe. I will share it with you now. Let’s spend 40 minutes with this recipe, it’s worth trying. The Wontons can be kept in the freezer for up to 1 month. So you can save 20 minutes next time, defrost some pieces and right away cook in the soup.
It’s super satisfying having a bowl of Wonton Soup on a cold day, but even on a hot day, there is nothing to stop me from this delicious bowl.

Turn-off the stove. Serve in a separate bowl. Sprinkle some pepper powder for a better smell.
