A comforting and quick-to-prepare wonton soup with tender meatballs, vibrant bok choy, and a fragrant broth, perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 quarts chicken stock or broth
  • 1 bunch green onions, divided
  • 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  • 1 (3-inch) piece ginger, peeled, or 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons rice or white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3 heads baby bok choy, roughly chopped (about 3 cups)
  • 20 wonton wrappers, cut into quarters
  • Sriracha Hot Sauce or Chili Crunch (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the broth by heating the chicken stock in a large saucepan. Add the white parts of the green onions, sliced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and salt. Bring it all to a boil.
  2. Mix the ground beef with the finely chopped green onion tops, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Combine well.
  3. Form small meatballs from the beef mixture, about one inch in diameter, and add them gently to the boiling broth.
  4. Simmer the soup by reducing the heat to a gentle simmer and allowing the meatballs to cook for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add your quartered wonton wrappers and chopped bok choy. Cook for an additional 8 minutes until the bok choy is tender.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with the reserved green onions and a drizzle of Sriracha if desired.

Notes

Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store wontons separately to prevent them from becoming mushy.
