Today I’m sharing two easy ways to make wonton soup using basic pantry ingredients and ground chicken. This is simple, comforting food that’s perfect for busy days, beginners, or when you want something warm and hearty without spending hours in the kitchen.

Version 1: Classic Clear Broth Wonton Soup
Minced chicken is mixed with simple aromatics and seasonings, then wrapped in wonton wrappers. The wontons are gently boiled until cooked, and the bok choy is blanched in the same pot for easy cleanup.
The soup is finished with a light and flavourful broth made from chicken stock, soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, chicken powder, sesame oil, and scallions. To serve, simply place the wontons and bok choy in a bowl and pour the hot broth over the top.

Version 2: No-Wrap Chicken Ball Noodle Soup
If you don’t have wonton wrappers, this version is even easier. The seasoned ground chicken is shaped into chicken balls and boiled until cooked. Rice noodles are then cooked in the same pot, followed by the bok choy.
The noodles are seasoned with dark soy sauce, chicken powder, white pepper, and garlic oil, then left to soak up all the flavours. To serve, place the noodles in a bowl, top with chicken balls and bok choy, and finish with the same savoury broth. Add extra garlic oil if you like.

Both versions are simple, comforting, and made with everyday ingredients. One base recipe, two delicious ways to enjoy it — perfect for weeknight dinners or when you want something nourishing and satisfying.
