Ingredients

Scale

Wontons

  • 8 wontons (store-bought or homemade)

Broth

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Garnish

  • 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, allowing the flavors to infuse the broth.
  2. Cook the wontons: Add the wontons to the boiling broth and cook them according to the package instructions, usually until they float to the surface, indicating they are done.
  3. Season the soup: Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil to the broth for a balanced savory and nutty flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Garnish and serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately to enjoy the soup at its freshest and most comforting.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and use vegetarian wontons.
  • If homemade wontons are used, ensure they are sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
  • Add a handful of baby spinach or bok choy for extra greens and nutrition.
  • Adjust soy sauce amount according to your sodium preference, especially if using regular instead of low-sodium broth.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently to prevent overcooking wontons.
