Wonton soups
Wonton soup the indispensable sidekick |
Wonton soup is as important as the wontons themselves. They may be the sidekick, but they play an indispensable role.
A well-made wonton soup can enhance the flavour of the entire dish.
Wonton soups are usually clear broths.
You can use any soup base you like as long as they are not too strongly flavored.
They should not fight with the wontons for attention. Just like the faithful sidekick of the superhero.
