Chicken Dumpling Wonton Soup

This chicken dumpling wonton soup is like a warm hug in a bowl. For this recipe I used chicken thigh that I pulsed in my food processor, but you’re welcome to substitute any protein for an equally delicious result. The wontons also freeze super easily too, so you can have them any time you want. Once you’ve assembled and sealed each dumpling, simply put them in a freezer bag once they’ve cooled down, maybe five to seven chicken dumplings per bag max so they don’t freeze together. 

I always like to keep some fried garlic oil on hand to add on top of the chicken wonton soup for an added hit of crunch. You can find my method of preparing that among my other recipes!
