Chicken & Shrimp Wonton Soup image

This is delicious! I am not an experienced cook by any means, but this was easy! I initially got the idea from a soup recipe, but changed the wonton ingredients to suit and added to the soup. Great meal and feeds 4-6 people ... the only thing I had to go out and buy was the wonton wrappers and spring onion! It is surprisingly filling! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

32 wonton wrappers
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
2 teaspoons crushed ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 teaspoons soy sauce
150 g ground chicken
32 shrimp
2 spring onions, finely chopped
5 cups water
6 teaspoons instant chicken bouillon granules
1 spring onion
1 onion, sliced
2 carrots
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, adjust to taste
1 spring onion, very finely sliced to garnish

Steps:

  • Very finely slice the spring onion into long strips (about 6 cms long) and place in a bowl of ice cold water so they curl.
  • Combine all the soup ingredients and simmer while you finish the wontons.
  • Mix all the wonton filling ingredients together and place a teaspoon of filling in each wonton paper, along with one shrimp.
  • Wet the edges of the wontons and fold upwards so it makes a little parcel.
  • Place the completed wontons onto a large plate dusted with flour so they don't stick together.
  • Complete all wonton's before starting to cook them.
  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
  • When the water is rapidly boiling, place 6-8 of the wonton's in at a time to cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Drain and place the cooked wonton's into a bowl that you will serve the soup in (around 8 wontons each).
  • Take the spring onion garnish out of the water and place a bit on top of the wonton's.
  • Pour some of the soup over the top of the wonton's and serve.
