Wonton & Broth
- 8 wontons (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
Seasonings & Garnish
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Prepare the broth: In a large pot over medium heat, combine the chicken broth, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil to infuse the flavors.
- Cook the wontons: Add the wontons to the boiling broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked through.
- Season the soup: Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, adjusting the amounts to your taste preference for a balanced savory flavor.
- Garnish: Remove the pot from heat and garnish the soup with sliced green onions to add a fresh and mild onion aroma.
- Serve: Ladle the hot wonton soup into bowls and enjoy immediately for a warm, comforting meal.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and use vegetable-based wontons.
- If using homemade wontons, ensure they are tightly sealed to prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
- Add a handful of fresh spinach or bok choy for extra greens and nutrition.
- Adjust soy sauce and sesame oil quantities according to dietary preferences regarding salt and fat.
- Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but is best enjoyed fresh.
