Instructions

Prepare the Broth – In a medium pot, bring chicken broth and water to a boil. Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to develop flavor.
Cook the Wontons – Add the wontons to the broth and let them cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, or until they float.
Add Greens – Stir in the bok choy and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until tender.
Serve – Remove ginger slices if desired. Ladle the soup into bowls, then top with green onions, cilantro, and a drizzle of chili oil if using. Enjoy!

Notes

Wontons – You can use frozen or fresh wontons. Pork, chicken, or shrimp wontons work well.
Make it heartier – Add cooked noodles or extra vegetables like mushrooms or carrots.
Spice it up – A splash of chili oil or sriracha adds heat!
