Chicken Wonton Soup
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced seeded jalapeno
- 7 ounces shiitake mushrooms
- 6 cups unsalted chicken stock (such as Swanson)
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 (1-in.) piece fresh ginger, sliced
- 12 ounces ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- 32 round wonton wrappers
- 1 cup diagonally cut carrots
- 1 cup diagonally cut sugar snap peas
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add yellow onion, minced ginger, minced garlic, and jalapeno; saute 4 minutes. Place onion mixture in a medium bowl.
- Remove stems from mushrooms. Thinly slice mushroom caps; set aside. Add stems, stock, 2 cups water, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, smashed garlic, and sliced ginger to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 45 minutes. Strain stock mixture over a bowl; discard solids. Return stock to pan over low heat, or follow freezing instructions.
- Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, chicken, and egg to onion mixture, stirring well. Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time (cover the remaining wrappers to keep from drying), spoon about 2 teaspoons chicken mixture into center of wrapper. Moisten edges with water; gather up and pleat edges of wrapper around filling to form a purse. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken mixture and wrappers. Continue with step 4, or follow freezing instructions.
- Add carrots to stock in pan; simmer 4 minutes. Add mushroom caps, dumplings, and peas; cook 8 minutes. Divide soup evenly among 8 bowls; sprinkle evenly with green onions.
- HOW TO Freeze: Add vegetables to stock mixture; cool completely. Freeze stock mixture and dumplings separately in large ziplock plastic freezer bags. Thaw: Microwave stock mixture at MEDIUM (50% power) 3 to 4 minutes or until bag is pliable. Reheat: Pour stock mixture into a large Dutch oven; simmer 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Add frozen wontons; cook 3 minutes.
