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.

Just made this and it’s absolutely delish and do essy! Thank you, Alex! I will keep this on repeat!
This was really yummy, and pretty easy! 🙌 My only suggestion is to make the soup up until the wonton part, and only add wontons as needed when you’re ready to eat! I used feel good foods gluten free wontons and made the mistake of adding them all at once. It tasted perfect at first, but now when I go to eat leftovers the wontons are kind of a mushy mess. Maybe it would be less of an issue with other brands. The soup recipe itself is great though! 🙂
Great tip, thank you for leaving this comment for others!
This soup is fresh, flavorful and SO easy. I’m not surprised as Alex always knocks it out of the park but this one is instantly a favorite and will be on repeat through the cold months.
Wow this soup is 10/10 would recommend!! Super easy to make and uses a lot of ingredients that are already on hand in our kitchen. My teen daughter and her girlfriend loved it too!! Loved it. Thank you Alex!!
Sooo delicious and leftovers held up for three days! Don’t skip the chili oil it provided a nice heat and flavor.
What would you suggest if I didn’t use low sodium and added your recommended amount of salt? Way too salty. Any way to salvage this? I will read closer next time.
Hi, where did you find frozen wontons? Which brand did you use? I too live in Dallas and am not seeing them at Central Market or Whole Foods. Thanks!
You can look for frozen dumplings or gyoza, also! Central market has a ton!
You can easily find frozen wontons or dumplings at 99 Ranch Market or H Mart. 🙂
10/10!
So much flavor and a very easy quick weeknight meal!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed this!
Super yummy, used frozen potstickers and came out great!
