Here’s an easy chicken and wonton soup recipe

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wontons:
    • In a bowl, mix ground chicken, chopped green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
    • Place about 1 tsp of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
    • Wet the edges with water, fold in half, and press to seal (triangles or traditional shapes work).
  2. Make the Soup:
    • In a large pot, bring chicken broth, garlic, and sliced ginger to a gentle boil.
    • Reduce to a simmer and add shredded chicken, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  3. Cook the Wontons:
    • Gently drop the wontons into the simmering soup.
    • Cook for 5–7 minutes, until they float and the chicken inside is fully cooked.
  4. Add Greens:
    • Stir in spinach or bok choy and cook for another 1–2 minutes until wilted.
    • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve:
    • Ladle soup into bowls, making sure each bowl gets some wontons, chicken, and greens.
    • Optional: garnish with extra green onions or a drizzle of sesame oil.

💡 Ashley’s Tips:

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time — it makes this recipe super fast!
  • Freeze any leftover wontons uncooked — perfect for a quick soup later.
  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of Sriracha or chili oil when serving.

If you like, I can give you a 5-minute shortcut version using store-bought wontons that’s even faster but just as tasty! 🥟✨
