This 20-Minute Wonton Soup is going to quickly become a household favorite! With just a handful of ingredients like shiitake mushrooms, fresh ginger, and store-bought wontons, this quick soup is sure to satisfy.
Day two of #DDSoupWeek 2023 is here and it’s delicious, y’all! In just 20 minutes, you’ll have a fresh, flavorful broth that is filled with aromatics and veggies. Once the broth base is ready, you’ll then cook frozen wontons in the broth then you’re ready to serve. Also, if you use vegetarian broth and veggie wontons, this is a delicious vegetarian option!

20-Minute Wonton Soup: Step-by-step
Step One: Sauté the Veggies
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat the avocado oil and toasted sesame oil. Next, add the green onion, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and sauté until tender. Once those veggies are just tender, add the baby bok choy and continue to sauté until just tender.
Step two: flavor the broth
After the veggies are all tender, add the broth, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, fish sauce, and lime juice to the pot. Stir to combine and then bring to a simmer.
Step Three: cook the wontons
Once the broth is simmering, add the wontons and cilantro and stir to combine. Cook until the wontons are tender.
Step Four: serve and enjoy!
While you can enjoy as-is, I like to serve this in bowls with a drizzle of chili oil and sliced green onions.

Love love love this soup!! My daughter shared this recipe with me and I have made it several times since. I love the flavors and it is very simple to make. Because there are just 2 of us and we can’t eat it all in one sitting, I am now cooking the wontons separate and adding later to prevent them soaking up the yummy liquid. I had no idea what coconut aminos were. My daughter said to use soy sauce. Also, we like spicy and are quite heavy on the chili oil. Thank you for this amazing recipe. It’s now my favorite soup!
One of my favorite soups ever.
so glad you love it.
One of the best soups I’ve ever had — it’s a flavor bomb in your mouth. My daughter has now requested this soup when she’s sick instead of chicken noodle.
Aw it’s such a feel-good dish!
I have made so so many of your recipes, especially all of your soups and I think this might be top 2! Unreal! Delicious! I used beef broth because that’s what I had and it was fantastic!
