Spicy Szechuan shrimp wonton soup! The base of this Asian inspired soup contains chicken stock, hot chili sauce, sesame oil and lime juice… This wonton soup is such a hot flavor bomb!
I love to make Asian style soups at home!
Whenever I visit my Chinese supermarket I love to take a bunch of stuffed dumplings, wontons and gyoza with me because we love a good dim sum family dinner at home!
Dumpings
This stuff is also great for lunch.
Look at this spicy Szechuan wonton soup below!
Easy Spicy Shrimp Wonton Soup (Szechuan)
I have made dumplings and gyoza from scratch before but I will be honest: for 8 wontons I prefer to use ready made ones.
The soup itself is very easy to throw together.
Some basic ingredients like hot chili sauce, sesame oil and lime juice because these are the essentials here to create the perfect flavor. I just ran out of spicy Szechuan chili oil (I suggest you add this to your pantry if you love cooking spicy Asian food) but the hot chili and sesame oil were a great substitute.
Chili Oil
You can also turn this soup into a vegetarian one if you leave out the fish sauce and use vegetable wontons.
