Wonton soup is really quite easy to make. 

Once you get on to making the wontons the rest takes just a few minutes.

Make a big pot of this for supper and you will have no complaints ( and no leftovers! ).

Won Ton Soup

------------------

3/4 - 1lb of ground pork. ( I have made it with ground chicken and the results were just as good)

1/4 cup chopped green onion 

3 tsp soy sauce

3 tsp cornstarch

1 garlic clove minced or 1/4 tsp minced garlic in jar

2 tsp grated ginger root 

3 tsp sesame oil

=============

1/2 cup of water

2 tbsp cornstarch

=============

7-8 cups chicken broth

2 cups water

5 tbsp sesame oil

1tsp grated ginger

3-4 tbsp of chicken soup base ( 4 oxo powder packs or 3 tbsp of Bovril ) to taste

1 small Chinese cabbage chopped

2 carrots sliced thin

2 stocks celery chopped thin

6-8 mushrooms sliced thin 

1/2 cup sliced green onion

** just use the vegetables you have

   Don't worry if you don't have the exact same ones. It will still turn out delicious!!

------------------------------------

Put the first seven ingredients into a bowl

Mix well to incorporate all ingredients together.

Set aside

In a small bowl mix water and cornstarch together

(This is used to seal the wontons)

Open your wonton wrappers and place one on your work surface.

Place a small amount of meat mixture in the middle of wrapper.

Put a small amount of water mixture on two sides of wonton as shown above.

Fold over to seal.

Wet edges again and bring the three corners together and pinch to seal.

You just made a wonton!!

Continue to make as many as you would like.

We LOVE wontons....so I make them all !!

( The meat mixture can be frozen if you only want to make 1/2 the package of wontons.

The wrappers can also be frozen to use later.)

Ok... On to the soup....

Put the next ingredients except for the vegetables in a large pot.

Bring to a boil

Add wontons and simmer for 5 minutes to cook them.

Add vegetables and simmer for 10 minutes.....

Soup is served !!

Yum

I like sesame oil so I add a bit more to taste at this point.

Adjust the chicken soup base and sesame oil to your own taste.

Enjoy
