Questions

Can I make Wonton Soup gluten-free?

Not cleanly. 24 wonton wrappers, 2 tbsp soy sauce has no substitute that behaves the same way in this dish. If you need strictly gluten-free, start from the gluten-free soup collection instead.

How long does Wonton Soup keep?

Refrigerate it up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it.

Can I halve or double Wonton Soup?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
