Ingredients

Scale

Broth Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper

Wontons and Garnishes

  • 20 store-bought frozen wontons (chicken, pork, shrimp, or veggie)
  • Scallions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil and aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Add the freshly grated ginger and minced garlic, stirring constantly, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and water, stirring to combine. Then add the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, kosher salt, and white pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the wontons: Once the broth is boiling, carefully add the frozen wontons to the pot. Stir gently to separate them and prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the wontons float to the surface and the wrappers are fully cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  4. Serve the soup: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with chopped scallions. Serve immediately for a warm and comforting meal.

Notes

  • You can use any variety of store-bought wontons, including chicken, pork, shrimp, or vegetarian options.
  • Adjust soy sauce and salt according to your taste preference or dietary needs.
  • For a spicier broth, consider adding a dash of chili oil or sliced fresh chili peppers.
  • Additional garnishes like fresh cilantro, sliced mushrooms, or baby bok choy can be added according to preference.
  • Make sure the wontons are cooked thoroughly until they float and the dough is tender but not mushy.
