Ingredients
  

  • 1 package frozen or fresh wontons about 20
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a boil over medium heat.
  • Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Drop in wontons and cook until they float and are fully heated through, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Add greens (if using) and cook just until wilted.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Freeze uncooked wontons for quick use in future meals.
  • Customizing the Flavor: Add mushrooms, carrots, or a splash of rice vinegar for variety.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with chilli oil or soy sauce on the side for dipping.
  • Allergy-Friendly Options: Use gluten-free soy sauce and wonton wrappers for dietary needs.
  • Storage Tips: Refrigerate leftovers in broth and reheat gently to keep wontons intact.
