Are you ready for a quick, 20 minute wonton soup?!? This recipe immediately became one of my faves for an easy, weeknight meal.
This one pot soup is perfect for those week nights when you're looking to spice up your usual menu. It only takes 20 minutes and is super easy to make.
Simmer a flavorful broth with leeks and carrots for a little extra nutrition, and then plop in your favorite wontons and some egg noodles for extra substance. Oh and don't forget the baby bok choy! Slice them in half length wise and then just throw them in the pot at the same time. Easy peezy!
I use frozen wontons to really cut down on time, especially after work. Having said that, if you have some homemade ones, by all means use those instead. I'm sure this 20 minute wonton soup will taste even better!
