    I know some people hate mushroom but before you say you don’t like it, try it first. Beech brown mushroom are decadent and has a firmer flesh than regular white mushroom. When cooking with mushroom, don’t over soak it in soup. Mushrooms are not good when mushy or soggy. Add the mushroom just before serving.

    This easy Mushroom Wonton Soup recipe is one of my comfort food during chilly days. Not really. As Asian, it doesn’t really matter if it’s winter or summer. We cook soup even though it’s sweltering heat outside. We love soup and we love it hot!

    Enoki mushroom will also work well with this soup. Again, add it when ready to serve.

    Use chicken broth or combine it with pork broth. When broth is ready, use a strainer if you prefer a clear soup. But if you are like me, I don’t like wasting healthy spices like garlic, onion and ginger that were used to flavor the broth. Regardless, the broth will still be flavorful.

    Prepare the wonton before making the wonton broth.

    What type of mushrooms to use in wonton soup?

    Beech brown mushrooms and enoki mushrooms are great to use when making wonton soup.

    If you have used other types of mushroom, please feel free to leave a comment.

    How to prepare the beech brown mushroom?

    The mushroom and stem are cut off the cluster about ¼ way down the stem. The mushroom cap can easily break off from the stem so be gentle when handling it. Wash the mushroom thoroughly before adding it to your soup to get rid of dirt.

    Remove the mushroom cap and stem from the cluster before adding to soup.

    Can you keep leftover mushrooms in the fridge?

    Fresh mushrooms will stay fresh for more than a week if kept in a protective bag that came with it.

    How to keep mushrooms crisp when added to soup?

    Mushrooms will easily absorb broth if left in the soup for a while. To avoid soggy mushrooms, remove it from the soup if not serving right away or add the mushrooms in the soup before serving.

    Add mushroom to wonton soup.

    Can I use torn wonton wrappers?

    Yes, you may. Add a drop of water in the torn area and overlap the wonton pieces. Press the overlapped pieces to attach it together.

    Can I keep leftover wonton wrappers in the freezer?

    Yes. Make sure to keep it in an air-tight container, bag or food saver.

    Can I keep uncooked wontons in the freezer?

    Yes, as long as you seal it in an air-tight bag or food saver. It will stay good for a month.
