wonton soup

### 3. **Prepare the Broth**

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth, water, ginger slices, soy sauce, and sesame oil to a gentle boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove ginger slices before serving.

### 4. **Cook the Wontons**

Gently drop the wontons into the simmering broth. They’ll sink at first and float to the top when cooked—usually within 4–6 minutes.

If adding greens like bok choy or spinach, toss them into the pot during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.

### 5. **Serve**

Ladle the hot soup into bowls, making sure each serving has a few wontons and some greens. Garnish with sliced green onions and a dash of chili oil if desired.

* **Freeze extra wontons**: Make a big batch and freeze uncooked wontons in a single layer. Boil straight from frozen when needed.
* **Use pre-made wrappers**: Found in the refrigerated section of most Asian markets or major grocery stores.
* **Customize fillings**: Try adding chopped shrimp, mushrooms, or even tofu for a twist.
* **Clear broth = better flavor**: Simmer gently to keep your broth clear and light.
