Nothing warms the heart and home like a simmering pot of soup, and my Slow Cooker Wonton Soup is no exception. Now, wonton soup may not hail from the Midwest fields where I was raised, but it has found a cozy place on our family table over the years—blending the goodness of far-off traditions with the comfort of our own homegrown love for soups. This one’s special, darlings. Perfect for those chilly days when you want the kitchen to radiate with the smells of something rich and fulfilling. It’s a marvel how these delicate little wontons can carry such a blend of flavors, and with this recipe, you can experience this marvel with the simplest of efforts.
Serve this heartwarming soup with a side of crunchy vegetable slaw or a plate of softly steamed greens—bok choy would be my pick, dressed in a tad of soy and a whisper of sesame oil for that complimentary taste. And if your soul calls for a bit more sustenance on the side, a small bowl of jasmine or brown rice does just the trick.
