Add carrots, celery, leeks, and browned pork bones. Add water, salt, and pepper. Let boil then simmer for 2 to 3 hours. Strain and set aside soup stock.
Wonton Soup Cooking Directions:
In a bowl, combine ingredients for the filling and mix thoroughly. Scoop one teaspoon of the mixture onto each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges. Seal together by pressing, any two opposite corners to make a triangle. Join the moistened edges of the two corners at the base of the triangle to the third corner. Measure 7 cups (1.8L) of soup stock into a saucepan and let boil. Drop the dumplings, 5-6 at a time and cook for 5 minutes. Set aside. (Do not overload in pan to avoid clinging together. Repeat until the dumplings are cooked.) Bring soup stock to a boil and add the fresh egg. Stir. Drop the cooked dumplings and bring to a boil once more. Sprinkle with spring onions and pepper. Serve hot.
