Notes
- Ground pork is traditional, but you can substitute with ground chicken, turkey, or beef.
- Adjust sriracha according to your preferred spice level or omit for a mild soup.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground meat with tofu and use vegetable broth, and ensure hoisin sauce is vegetarian-friendly.
- Crispy wonton strips add texture but can be omitted for a lighter soup.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
