Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Season the soup: Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, adjusting the amounts to your taste preference for a balanced savory flavor.
  4. Garnish: Remove the pot from heat and garnish the soup with sliced green onions to add a fresh and mild onion aroma.
  5. 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.
