Wonton soups

Wonton soups are as important as the wontons themselves. Although I consider the soup the sidekick but many will agree that sidekicks play an indispensable role. A well-made wonton soup can enhance the flavour of the entire dish.

In the wontons page, I mentioned that wontons must not be cooked directly in the wonton soup. Both must be prepared separately. If you haven't visited that page, I hope you will because I packed a lot of wonton information there.

Now for the wonton soups recipes.
