#### How to Make Wonton Soup
1. **Make the filling:** Mix ground pork (or your preferred protein) with seasonings like soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and scallions.
2. **Assemble the wontons:** Spoon a small amount of filling into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold and seal with water. No need for perfection — just make sure they’re sealed tight!
3. **Prepare the broth:** In a pot, simmer chicken broth with fresh ginger, garlic, and soy sauce until fragrant.
4. **Cook the wontons:** Boil the wontons separately for 3–5 minutes until they float and the filling is cooked through.
5. **Assemble the soup:** Add cooked wontons to serving bowls, pour hot broth over, and garnish as desired.

#### Tips for Success
* **Don’t overfill the wontons** — a teaspoon of filling is enough.
* **Seal the wrappers well** to prevent them from opening during cooking.
* **Freeze extra wontons** on a baking sheet, then transfer to a bag for quick soup anytime.
* **Use a rich homemade or high-quality store-bought broth** — it’s the key to depth of flavor.
