The minute the weather gets a bit chilly, I declare soup season in my kitchen. I love a big bowl of comfort food.
Normally I would want you to guess how long it takes to make this Asian soup recipe but I already told you. While that seems impossible, it's not due to the basic ingredients that go in this soup.
Ingredients/ Additions and Substitutions for Easy Wonton Soup
There are only three ingredients in this soup but I am going to give you some additions and substitutions for this recipe. I want you to make this wonton soup at home so you should easily be able to adapt it to your liking.
stock or broth - I love making homemade broth but I always keep some stock or broth in my pantry too. Trader Joe's carries an awesome ginger miso broth which is great for Asian recipes. You can use any brand of ginger broth or you could even use chicken or vegetable broth. To make it have more of an authentic Asian flavor, you could season it with some grated ginger or ginger powder and soy sauce.
frozen dumplings or wontons - I also buy frozen Asian dumplings from Trader Joe's but most grocery stores carry them in their frozen food section. They take very little time to cook. Try different flavors to your liking.
spinach - Frozen or fresh spinach can be used in this recipe. You could also use another vegetable like chopped bok choy. Or add some additions to the soup like grated carrots, chopped green onions, shredded cabbage, crushed red pepper or mushrooms .
Can you make homemade wontons for this soup?
Of course you can! I would advise that you make them in advance and then you can even keep them in the freezer for when you need them. Here are a few recipes for homemade wontons or dumplings:

- Simple Vegetable Dumplings via Wife Mama Foodie
- Easy Potstickers Recipe via The Novice Chef
Cooking and Storing Tips
- I find it best to use smaller dumplings or mini wontons. They cook really quick and are perfect to distribute throughout the soup.
- This soup is perfect for lunch and can easily be reheated in the microwave so I often make a double batch. Just be sure to store the leftover soup in an air tight container in your refrigerator.
- Customize soup to your liking. You'll want to make this over and over again but you can add some new additions.
- Don't slurp too loud 🙂

I think I'll revisit resolutions in the spring...when it starts to get warmer and it feels like there's some hope! Love this homemade soup!
Alicia
Just made this exact recipe and it was good! The broth alone was a little plane for my taste so I added some chili paste, sriracha, ground pepper, soy sauce and then added green onions to the mix. Not too much of anything just enough to give it a kick and it was really delicious! Will definitely be making this again, thanks for the recipe!
Liz

Linda
I love wonton soup. It's my go-to meal when I'm too lazy to cook. I never thought of adding miso soup but that sounds delicious.
Kelley
This sound fabulous and so easy! I cant wait to try it!

I made this for dinner tonight and it was so good!! Alright now onto my modifications! I added sliced crimni mushrooms, and zucchini. Also, if I had chili paste I would 1000% add it because I like spicy soup and also add salt to taste... I felt mine needed a little salt but I don't like to add salt after my food is prepared. This recipe will be a new staple in my house! I used the trader joes miso broth, trader joes frozen spinach, and the whole bag (its 12 oz) of cilantro chicken wontons from trader joes. Enjoy!

Sounds great!!
