The rich coconut broth, warm curry spice, and ready made wontons come together faster than ordering takeout!
You can have a steaming bowl on the table in minutes, making it perfect for busy nights or lazy weekends.

How to Make

Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Be sure to store any leftover wontons in a separate airtight container in the fridge.
To reheat, microwave the wontons and soup until warmed through.
Spoon the soup over the wontons and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
- Adjust the amount of garlic, ginger, and curry paste to suit your taste. If you want more spice, add more of each.
- A little sriracha drizzled on top would also be a yummy way to add some heat.
- Don’t add the wontons directly to the soup broth in the pot because they will suck up all the moisture and sort of fall apart.
