Wonton Soup
Wonton soup is a fragrant Asian starter made with delicate wontons filled with a seasoned pork and herb mixture, served in a clear soy-and-fish-sauce broth. The Thermomix TM7 chops the aromatics in seconds and steams the wontons gently in the Varoma, delivering a restaurant-quality soup with minimal effort.
About this recipe
Wonton soup Thermomix TM7 brings the comfort of a Chinese tea house straight to your kitchen, and it is easier than most people imagine. Searching for wonton soup recipes or a warming Asian soup for a quick weeknight dinner usually leads to long lists of chopping, but this all-in-one kitchen machine changes that completely. The TM7 blitzes garlic, ginger, spring onion, chilli and coriander into a fine, fragrant paste in mere seconds, giving the filling its signature punch without a single knife cut. While the seasoned wontons steam gently in the Varoma, the broth below absorbs their savoury aroma, creating a soy, sesame and fish-sauce-scented soup that tastes slow-cooked in a fraction of the time. Delicate wrappers, a silky filling and a crystal-clear liquid make this starter worthy of any dinner party, yet simple enough for a cosy family supper.
Preparation tips
- Keep your wonton wrappers covered with a slightly damp tea towel while filling them, as they dry out quickly and crack when folded. Work in small batches so each wrapper stays supple and seals properly around the pork and coriander filling.
- Freeze extra filled wontons in a single layer on a tray lined with baking paper, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook them straight from frozen in the Varoma whenever a quick bowl of soup is needed, adding a little extra steaming time.
- For a milder, kid-friendly version, leave out the chilli and reduce the fish sauce, replacing part of it with extra soy sauce. A drop of sesame oil at the end keeps the flavour rounded without any sharpness.
Recipe variations
- Make a vegetarian wonton soup by swapping the pork for finely chopped shiitake mushrooms and firm tofu, and replacing the fish sauce with mushroom soy sauce. Steam them in the Varoma exactly as in the original recipe.
- For a festive version, fold the wontons into golden ingot shapes and serve the broth in small glasses as an elegant party starter, garnished with crisp spring onion rings, coriander leaves and a drizzle of chilli oil.
