Wonton soups and lunches...

There is a huge China Town in the city where I live, and there are many excellent restaurants serving a variety of delicious dishes. I often visit China Town for lunch and dinner. And, I have to say, wonton soup is one of my favorites. That goes well with other main dishes.

i love wonton soup but its not really that fulling. when we have homemade soup, we always make bread to go with it. i am actually making beef barley as we speak.

I usually don't eat soup for lunch. I think that wonton soup would definitly be more of an appetizer than a meal. A beef stew or chicken noodle might be more filling. I like a good cheesy potato soup too. I have had soup for dinner but it usually has a bunch of stuff in it to fill you up...don't worry...it's not just you.

For me it really depends on the kind of soup that we are talking about whether or not it is filling for me. I tend to think that more broth based soups aren't all that filling, but soups that are more hardy are quite filling. I will eat chili or vegetable soup quite frequently during the winter as a meal and that will keep me full for hours. However, if I eat something like chicken noodle soup I am starved just a short period of time later.

Hello i am J_J!Itell you that it is always a wrong step to choose a wonton soup when you're feeling hungary....Medically it is aways recommended to take higher percentage of carbohydrates during hunger...The soup has a hot boody taste and it can save you from feeling too much cold but it is not enough to take it to remove a hunger...I think that if you do like soup so much then i will recommend you to take a chicken vegi soup with a higher percentage of chicken... Thankyou!

every persons appetite is different. just bc you are still hungry doesnt make you a pig. it just means that you might not want to choose that kind of soup next time. soup is filling SOMETIMES for me but not all the time. wonton soup... im always hungry an hour or two later. i made potatoe soup the other day.. homemade bc its so much better... and i was stuffed after one bowl. all it had was potatoes and little bitty pieces if onion. its was awesome. just try different stuff every time and if your not sure if its going to fill your appetite then take a snack or a back up incase you get hungry later. :)

When my family goes to a Chinese restaurant, I never fill up on wonton soup.....because I think it is...well....a filler. LOL I eat everything else on the buffet. I don't think it would stay with me very long either....I would be hungry before long.

Hi Bounce58, wonton soups are not supposed as a main course. Usually we add noodle into the wonton soup or to order wonton soup as part of a meal consisting of rice, vegetables and soup. I think you can add the vendor to add a bit of noodle into the soup next time. Alternatively you can buy the soup home, and add instant noodle into it. It makes a tasty and healthier dinner.

We happened to see some wonton wraps in chinese supermarket, and out of curiosity we bought some home and gave it a try. Well, in fact, we have no idea how to make wonton but we did our best to imagine. So we mixed some minced meat and put it in the centre of the wrap and rolled it up (yes....we rolled it up...). So strictly speaking, what we made were just some dumpling looking balls with wonton wraps. But anyway, back to the point. We boiled them in water and had them as the main course for our dinner. I think each of us ate 10~12 that evening. We didn't have anything else as company, just our 'fake' wontons, and we were absolutely full! But I guess we used a lot of meat for each 'wonton' and hence it gave that kind of filling feeling. We may try prawn flavour wontons next time.

Most soups in general are filling at the moment but have a tendency to go through you pretty rapidly, leaving you yet hungrier than before. So I have a tendency when I order soup to assure that it is a bit hearty whereas it can have some potatoes and or some chopped meat and or vegetables, this way it will fill me for hours.

have a thick creamy soup.It will keep you full for longer time. Clam chowder soup is a good choice for that.

well i like soup for lunch specially on a chilli day BUT i think you should of had an egg roll or a side of something. the wonton soup is not very filling... its great but i dont think it would hold your tummy for long.

Theres a lot of cholesterol in one sering of egg and it doesn't seem appetizing to eat Wanton soup for lunch. I'm a health fanatic, and eating things like too much eggs, salt and cholesterol will make me regret it. There are so many other options, as I would rather eat a sandwich. Even though the taste of the soup might be better, I think nutrition will make your body feel younger even after eating food. Theres been times where I've had lots of meat and fat and so little vegetables. After situations like those, I feel bombarded, bored and really tired. On the other hand, eating a combination of vegetables, fruits and protein has the opposite effect.
