Ingredients

• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 20–25 wontons (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup bok choy, chopped
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation Method

Prepare the Broth
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Let the broth simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cook the Wontons
Carefully add the wontons to the simmering broth. Let them cook for 5–7 minutes or until they float to the surface, indicating they’re fully cooked. Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even cooking.

Add the Vegetables
Stir in the chopped bok choy and sliced mushrooms (if using). Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, adding a burst of freshness to the soup.

Season the Soup
Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Depending on the saltiness of your soy sauce, you may need only a small pinch of salt.

Garnish and Serve
Ladle the soup into serving bowls, ensuring each bowl gets a generous portion of broth, wontons, and vegetables. Top with chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy!
