Wonton soup

Wonton soup is a delicious and popular Chinese soup that can be found on the menus of Chinese restaurants all over the world. The soup is made with wonton wrappers, which are small, thin sheets of dough made from flour, water, and salt. The dough is rolled into small circles and then filled with a variety of fillings, such as pork, shrimp, or vegetables. The wontons are then cooked in a broth and served with green onions and other garnishes.

The history of wonton soup recipes is a long and interesting one. The soup is thought to have originated in the Canton region of China, which is now known as Guangdong. Canton was a major trading port during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), and it is believed that the soup was created by Cantonese traders who wanted to make a quick and easy soup that could be served to customers in their shops.

The earliest known recipe for wonton soup appeared in a cookbook from the Song Dynasty (960-1279). This cookbook, called "Yinshan Zhengyao" (銀笙正要), contained a recipe for a soup made with wonton wrappers and chicken broth.
