by Eduard Anselme

Subgum wonton soup is a tasty and easy-to-make Chinese soup made from wontons. This recipe uses pork, chicken, aka bang pwong (curry) and onion as its main ingredients. Subgum is a popular dish that is found in both Hong Kong and southern China.

What is a Subgum Wonton Soup?

Subgum Wonton Soup is a delicious Chinese dish made from wontons and other ingredients, which are deep-fried in oil. The wontons are then served in a broth made with chicken stock and sometimes with other ingredients such as mushrooms, tofu, or spinach.

This soup is easy to make at home because you can use frozen wontons that you can easily thaw in the microwave. You can also use fresh wontons, but they will take longer to cook than frozen ones because they need to be soaked first before cooking.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground pork
  • 1 cup of chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup of chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup of chopped carrot
  • 2 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp of pepper
  • 1 tsp of garlic powder
  • 4 cans of chicken broth (14 oz)
  • 2 cans of beef broth (10 oz)
  • 2 cans tomato sauce (8 oz)
  • 1/2 cup of soy sauce

  • 1 lb frozen spinach (chopped, thawed and drained)
  • 48 wonton wrappers

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, mix ground pork, onion, celery, carrot, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Brown the pork in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Now, Add the sugar, tomato sauce, soy sauce, sherry, and beef, chicken, and beef broth.
  4. Bring everything to a boil.
  5. Put in the spinach and wrappers.
  6. Cook for approximately three minutes or until the wonton wrappers are thoroughly cooked.

Tips

  • If you’re in a rush and want to make the soup with less work, use an instant pot!
  • Use homemade wonton wrappers instead of store-bought ones. They’re much more flavorful and don’t cost a dime!
  • Add some chicken broth to the water if you don’t have enough at first so that the noodles are not too dry and hard when finished cooking.
  • Make sure your wontons are small enough before adding them to the soup… this will help prevent soggy wontons!

Storage

To store your Subgum Wonton Soup, you need to keep it in an airtight container. You can use a plastic bag or freezer-safe container.

Be careful not to use metal containers, as this could cause the soup to get too hot, which will ruin its taste.
