Why You’ll Love This Vegan Wonton Soup
Hearty and Filling: This soup is a complete meal! The protein-rich wontons and nourishing veggie broth make it satisfying and substantial. The stuffed wontons are incredibly filling, and one large bowl keeps you energized for hours. The wontons pack a protein punch while the veggie-packed broth delivers essential vitamins and minerals.
Easy to Make: Crafting wontons may take a bit of practice, but it’s a rewarding process that gets easier over time! I find it relaxing to fold wontons while listening to an audiobook or podcast. The key is to moisten the edges well before sealing. Even if they look imperfect, they’ll taste incredible! Start with a small batch as you get used to the folding technique.
Flavorful Broth: The magic of the broth comes from fresh ginger and garlic, adding aromatic depth and brightness. Soy sauce provides savory richness, while sesame oil gives a toasted, nutty flavor. These classic Asian ingredients come together to create a deeply comforting broth that’s sweet from ginger, savory from soy sauce, with a hint of nuttiness from sesame oil.
Gluten-Free Option Available
Yes! You can easily make this soup gluten-free. Many grocery stores offer gluten-free vegan wonton wrappers, and be sure to use a certified gluten-free soy sauce. I’ve made this soup gluten-free several times, and the flavor remains just as warm, aromatic, and delicious.
Is This Soup Spicy?
No, this soup isn’t spicy. It gets its rich flavor from garlic, ginger, green onions, and soy sauce, without any heat or chili spices. However, if you like a bit of spice, feel free to add sriracha, chili oil, or red pepper flakes to suit your taste! I usually serve these on the side so everyone can customize their heat level.

2-Assemble the Wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Add 1 teaspoon of filling in the center, wet the edges with water, and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Press out any air and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3-Cook the Wontons: Bring the vegetable broth to a simmer in a large pot. Add the wontons and cook for 4-5 minutes until they float to the top and the filling is heated through.

Cooking Tips:
- Find vegan wonton wrappers in the tofu section or freezer aisle at your grocery store.
- To make folding easier, keep the wonton wrappers covered with a damp paper towel while working.
- Save time by using store-bought vegan broth instead of homemade vegetable broth.
- Freeze any leftover wontons for up to 3 months; thaw them before adding to soup.
- Boost your soup with extra veggies like bok choy, mushrooms, or tofu for added nutrition and protein.
