Chicken Wonton Noodle Soup

Wonton wrappers are stuffed with seasoned minced chicken and vegetables, cooked in boiling water and served with noodles in this easy chicken wonton noodle soup recipe.

Chicken Wonton Noodle Soup for Three

Take care to use the right kind of chicken meat. Red meat is best but grocery-bought ground chicken is usually ground skinless chicken breast meat which I do not like. It’s dry with the mouth feel of wet cardboard.

So, for the chicken wonton filling, I minced skin-on chicken thigh fillets. It’s added work, I know, but the fatty chicken skin gave the wontons better mouth feel and flavor. The fat acted as a natural binder too.

If you're not in a hurry, the filling develops even better texture if allowed to sit in the fridge overnight. The starch and wine bind all the ingredients beautifully making handling easier.

  • Moisten all the edges of the wrapper with water.

Cook the chicken wontons

  • Boil water, at least three inches deep, in a pot or wok.
  • When the water is boiling profusely, drop in half of the wontons one by one. The water will stop boiling for a while as the temperature drops after the addition of the wontons.

  • Allow the water to come to a boil once more then wait for the wontons to float to the surface. They are done at this point. The cooking takes about four to five minutes.
  • Scoop out the wontons with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
  • Repeat the cooking process for the remaining half of the wontons.

Assemble your chicken wonton noodle soup

  • Heat your chicken bone broth.
  • While the broth heats, divide the noodles into four portions and drop into bowls.
  • Arrange the cooked wontons beside the noodles.
  • Sprinkle in sliced scallions.
  • Pour in hot broth and garnish with fried shallots.
