Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 ½ pounds ground pork

  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers, or as needed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded

  • 1 ¼ quarts chicken broth

  • 1 small head bok choy, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 green onions, chopped

Directions

  1. Mix pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Reserve 1/3 of the filling mixture for soup. Wrap about 1 tablespoon of remaining filling in a wonton wrapper. Repeat until all filling is used up.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and reserved filling. Mix well. Add chicken broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Drop filled wontons into soup one by one. Boil until wontons float to the top, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bok choy; boil until tender, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with green onions.
