I wish I had known sooner how easy it is to make a good bowl of homemade instant pot wonton soup. I don’t cook Asian-inspired dishes too often because I don’t always stock the ingredients in my pantry, but these homemade wontons and the soup base itself are pretty basic. The wontons are made with ground pork, cornstarch, some choice spices, and a few other tasty ingredients. Meanwhile, the soup base is made with your choice of chicken or beef stock, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. No need for excess sodium and flavorings when you have all these wholesome ingredients that pack a lot of flavor already.
