Provided by Sylvia Fountaine

Categories     main

Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 leek, white parts, thinly sliced (or sub 1 shallot or ½ cup onion)
4 slices ginger (the size of a quarter, leave peels on- or 1 tablespoon ginger paste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups chicken broth ( or veggie broth)
10-14 wontons ( chicken, shrimp or vegetarian)
salt and lemon juice to taste
a couple handful of chopped greens- baby spinach, arugula, bok choy, chopped kale
garnish options: scallions, cilantro, sesame seeds, chili flakes or sriracha

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, saute the leeks and ginger in oil, over medium heat, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the broth, cover, and bring to a boil.
  • Add the wontons and simmer according to directions on the package ( 3-5 minutes- depending on size) They normally float when cooked through.
  • Taste the broth and add salt and a squeeze of lemon if you like. I like mine quite lemony, but season to your own taste.
  • Drop in the greens, cooking until wilted. Spinach will take 45 seconds, kale will take longer.
  • Divide among two bowls and sprinkle with any of the garnishes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use a large pot: Wonton soup is a hearty soup, so you'll need a large pot to cook it in. A 6-quart pot is a good size.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're cooking the wontons, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from sticking together and cooking evenly.
  • Cook the wontons until they float: Wontons are done cooking when they float to the top of the pot. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables: Once the wontons are cooked, add the vegetables to the pot. Cook them until they are tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Season the soup: Season the soup with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and white pepper. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Garnish the soup: Before serving, garnish the soup with green onions, cilantro, and chili oil.
