Wonton soup, also known as short soup, is a comforting classic. Juicy pork and chicken dumplings bathing in a fragrant soup laced with ginger and green onion. A classic Chinese takeaway soup on the table from scratch in 30 minutes.
Wonton soup is one of my favourite comfort foods. As well as a great hangover cure. This version is basic and easy to make. If you want to make it a little more "fancy" add some bok choy, or egg noodles to make it an Aussie Chinese long soup.
