Wonton soup

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

It’s been too long since I last posted a recipe here. I was out of the country and the last two days before I left, although I cooked a lot for the kids’ packed school lunches for the days that I wouldn’t be home, I was in such a rush that I wasn’t able to take photos. Pity, really, since one of the dishes I cooked was lechon macau. Next time…

Anyway, I did manage to take photos of the wonton soup that I cooked about three nights before I left.

wonton soup

I used to make this soup by dropping the uncooked wonton into the simmering broth. The problem is that the starch from the wonton wrappers get mixed into the broth, makes it cloudy and leaves a floury taste in the mouth. I’ve since rethought the procedure and I now steam the wontons separately and add them to the broth at the same time as the vegetables. That way, by the time the vegetables are done, the wontons would have been heated through.

    wowww… looks really yummy yummy… I love wonton soup! Really great during rainy season. Parang pareho din sya ng PAncit Molo of Iloilo, ano? Kaya lang the way they cook it parang mas maraming molo wrapper. Got to try this one of these days.

    comfort food, noemi. :)

    brenda, yah, kasi the dumplings in molo soup have much much less filling so the effect is more wrapper floating on the broth.

    mareza, i don’t often follow instructions either. i just feel my way through and it works 99% of the time. :)

    You’re welcome, Luz.
