Don’t you wish you could have Pork Wonton Soup at the ready instead of having to go to your local Chinese restaurant? Our Quick and Easy Pork Wonton Soup makes this comforting dish a breeze, taking advantage of pre-made chicken stock as well as simple, store-bought wonton wrappers. Other than the pork filling which takes some mixing, this recipe is effortless, allowing you to create a rich, umami-infused soup in around 30 minutes.
Can You Exchange the Pork Filling in This Wonton Soup for Something Else?
Yes, you can absolutely switch up the pork filling to suit your dietary needs and preferences. Try using ground turkey, ground beef, ground lamb, tofu, or even beans as a vegan option. You just want to make sure your ball is dense and sticky enough to stay together as it gets cooked in the savory broth. If you’d prefer, you can leave out the pork balls altogether and focus on adding in other fresh vegetables of your choosing. Ingredients from your local farmers market like carrots, bean sprouts, and mushrooms all make great additions to this wonton soup recipe.

Ingredients
- 2 qt chicken stock
- 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions
- Place chicken stock in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cut white parts of green onions into 1-inch pieces and add to broth. Add garlic clove and 1 teaspoon ginger. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Place pork in a bowl. Finely slice remaining green parts of green onions and add to the bowl. Add remaining soy sauce, ginger, salt, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Form the pork mixture into 1-inch balls and add to broth. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook 5 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked. Add wonton wrapper and box chop and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the boy chop to be tender and for the wontons to be fully cooked.
