Directions

• Add both chicken broths and beef stock to a large pan and set heat to medium low.
• Once broth begins to simmer, set heat to allow soup to continue cooking at a slow simmer.
• Place pork in a mixing bowl.
• Add sesame oil, soy sauce, and white pepper. Mix well.
• In a food processor, blender, or by hand, finely mince the water chestnuts and add to the pork mixture.
• Repeat with 8 large white mushrooms. Save remainder of mushrooms to thinly slice and use as garnish when soup is finished.
• Slice 3 greens onions, both white and all of the green parts, very thin and mince as you would garlic, or use a food processor. Add to the pork mixture. Mix well.
• Fill wonton wrappers with 1/2 teaspoon fillings.
• Wet edges and seal in desired shape.
• Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Thinly slice remaining mushrooms and set aside.
• Thinly slice remaining green onions and set aside.
• Once all wontons are formed, place in refrigerator until ready to cook.
• Once ready to prepare soup, taste broth. If it has become too salty from simmering, add water a cup at a time until desired salt level is achieved.
• Bring broth to a boil.
• Gently add wontons to soup.
• Allow broth to come back to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to medium low.
• Continue simmering until won ton begin to float.
• Once wontons float, allow them to simmer another minute or two.
• Taste a wonton to make sure that the wrapper is cooked through and no longer doughy.
• Continue simmering until wontons are done.
• Ladle soup in to bowls and top with thinly sliced mushrooms and green onions.
