This soup is worth the extra bit of effort it takes to shape the wontons. You could easily add more chicken stock to bump up the servings to 6 or more. I combined the pork and shrimp in the food processor to get them both finely chopped and mixed together well. Very tasty. I will make again.

This is a good recipe and the soup was enjoyed, but I had the feeling something was missing all along. It dawned on me when I was doing the dishes - ginger! I've never had this type of dish without ginger in it. It is probably a personal thing, but next time, I'll cut back the soy sauce and add some grated ginger. I think it will be perfect for me then. Wish I could give 4 1/2 stars. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
