5-Ingredient Spicy Wonton Soup Recipe - Tasting Table

"This spicy wonton soup recipe, developed with Michelle McGlinn, uses just five ingredients you likely have lying around already, especially if you frequently make Asian-inspired cuisines. Inspired by the spicy, silky wontons at Chinese dim sum restaurants, this soup is the perfect combination of fiery heat and meaty savoriness, complete with crunchy green scallions. A warming soup that is even better (and cheaper) than takeout, this wonton soup makes even the busiest weeknights feel like a breeze."

"The first ingredient you will need for this spicy wonton soup is, of course, frozen wontons. If your grocery store doesn't sell these, try a grocery store that specializes in Chinese cuisine. You can use any type of dumpling, such as chicken and vegetable, mushroom, or our favorite, pork and spinach. You can also swap wontons for dumplings, which use a slightly thicker dough but can be boiled just the same."

Late-night or busy-weeknight dinners can be solved with a five-ingredient spicy wonton soup using frozen wontons, scallions, soy sauce, chili oil, and chicken broth. The soup combines fiery heat and meaty savoriness with crunchy green scallions, inspired by dim sum wontons. Frozen dumplings can be substituted and varieties include chicken-vegetable, mushroom, or pork-spinach; dumplings with thicker dough also work. The recipe requires minimal prep, cooks in under 20 minutes, and uses common pantry staples plus oil for sautéing. The result is a warming, affordable alternative to takeout that stretches limited grocery budgets.
