Step
1
once broth is boiling add soup mixture to pot let boil aprox 10 to 15 minutes. any left over wonton filling can be added to soup or set aside for making additional wontons fried. Use as desired.
2
start adding wontons one at a time, occassionally pushing wontons down in soup mixture to prevent them sticking together.
3
boiling approx 3-5 minutes after all wontons are added. occasionally pushing wontons on top to middle of soup gently to middle of soup to allow for even cooking of wontons. Over cooking or stirring may result in wontons breaking open.
