Required Equipment

To make this delicious Keto Wonton Soup, you’ll need a few kitchen tools:

• Large Pot or Dutch Oven – I always use a sturdy, heavy-bottomed pot to make the broth. It ensures that the heat is evenly distributed, making your broth perfectly flavorful.
• Sharp Knife – For chopping your veggies and meats, a sharp knife is key. It helps make slicing and dicing much easier and more precise.
• Cutting Board – A large, sturdy cutting board is essential for prepping the ingredients. I use mine for everything from slicing vegetables to chopping meat, and it’s a must-have in any kitchen.
• Spoon or Scoop – For filling the wonton wrappers, a spoon or small scoop helps you control the amount of filling, ensuring each wonton is evenly packed.
• Large Spoon or Ladle – To serve the soup, a large spoon or ladle is perfect for scooping up the broth and wontons without making a mess. It’s an essential tool when serving soups and stews.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to make Keto Wonton Soup, along with some substitution options to fit your preferences:

• Ground Pork (or chicken) – Ground pork is the most traditional filling for wontons, but ground chicken or turkey works just as well if you prefer a leaner option.
• Shredded Cabbage – This serves as a crunchy and healthy filling. If you prefer a milder taste, you can substitute shredded zucchini.
• Garlic – Fresh garlic gives the soup a savory flavor, but garlic powder can be used if you don’t have fresh garlic on hand.
• Ginger – Fresh ginger adds a warm, zesty note. If you don’t have fresh ginger, ground ginger will work in a pinch.
• Coconut Aminos – This is a keto-friendly substitute for soy sauce, offering a similar umami flavor without the carbs.
• Chicken Broth – A rich, flavorful base for the soup. You can also use beef or vegetable broth if you prefer.
• Shirataki Noodles (Optional) – These noodles are made from konjac root and are low in carbs, providing a noodle-like texture to the soup. If you prefer a more traditional noodle, zucchini noodles could be an option, though they may soften more in the broth.

How to Make Keto Wonton Soup

1. Prepare the Filling – In a large mixing bowl, combine your ground pork (or chicken), shredded cabbage, minced garlic, grated ginger, and coconut aminos. Mix thoroughly until the filling is well-combined and seasoned.
2. Assemble the Wontons – Take small spoonfuls of the filling and place them onto your wonton wrappers (use keto-friendly wrappers if available). Fold the wrappers over the filling and seal the edges tightly to form a small pouch.
3. Prepare the Broth – In a large pot, bring your chicken broth to a simmer. Add more garlic, ginger, and coconut aminos to taste. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra seasoning.
4. Cook the Wontons – Carefully drop the prepared wontons into the simmering broth, making sure they are fully submerged. Let them cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until they float to the top and the filling is cooked through.
5. Serve – Ladle the broth and wontons into bowls. If desired, top with chopped green onions, a dash of sesame oil, or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.

Tips for This Recipe

• Be sure to seal your wonton wrappers tightly to avoid any filling leaking out while cooking.
• Don’t overcook the wontons! Once they float to the surface, they’re ready to eat.
• Make sure your broth is seasoned well, as it’s the base flavor of the soup.
• If you want a heartier soup, consider adding some keto-friendly noodles or even a handful of spinach.

Optional Additions

• Mushrooms – Adding sliced shiitake or button mushrooms enhances the flavor of the broth and adds texture.
• Spinach – Stirring in a handful of spinach just before serving adds some extra nutrients and color.
• Spicy Kick – If you enjoy heat, add a few drops of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to your broth for some spice.

Serving Ideas

This Keto Wonton Soup is perfect on its own as a light meal or snack. You can also pair it with a side of keto-friendly garlic bread or a refreshing cucumber salad. For a more substantial meal, add a side of roasted vegetables or a small avocado salad.

Storage Recommendation

Store leftover Keto Wonton Soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, be careful not to overheat the wontons, as they may break apart. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I freeze the wontons? Yes, you can freeze the wontons before cooking them. Simply place them on a baking sheet in a single layer to freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to cook, just add them directly to the simmering broth.
• Can I use store-bought wonton wrappers? If you’re not strictly following a keto diet, you can use traditional wonton wrappers. For a keto version, look for low-carb wonton wrappers or use thin slices of zucchini as a substitute.
• Can I make this soup ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the filling and broth in advance, and store them separately in the fridge. Assemble and cook the wontons when you’re ready to eat.
