How To Make Trader Joe’s Wonton Soup

Step One: Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, then bring to a gentle simmer.

Step Two: Add the frozen Trader Joe’s dumplings to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually 7–10 minutes, until heated through and tender.

Step Three: During the last 3–4 minutes of cooking, stir in sliced carrots and chopped green onions. If using spinach, add it now and cook until wilted.

Step Four: Taste the soup and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with chili flakes or sesame seeds for extra flavor. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. For a bright, tangy finish, squeeze fresh lime juice over each serving.

Trader Joe’s Famous Wonton Soup Recipe Tips

• Use fresh or frozen dumplings – Both work well, but frozen dumplings are convenient and cook evenly in the simmering broth.
• Simmer, don’t boil – Keep the broth at a gentle simmer to prevent dumplings from breaking apart.
• Add veggies at the end – Carrots, green onions, and spinach cook quickly, so add them in the last few minutes to keep them crisp and vibrant.
• Customize the broth – Adjust soy sauce, sesame oil, or add a splash of rice vinegar for extra depth and flavor.
• Garnish for extra flavor – Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chili flakes, or squeeze fresh lime juice just before serving for a bright, flavorful finish.

• Storing: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat until warmed through.
• Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the soup (without added greens) in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
• Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if needed. Add fresh greens just before serving to keep them vibrant and tender.
