Deconstructed Wonton Soup
Recipes, Appetizers/Sides, Dinner, Lunch

This wonton-inspired chicken soup is cozy, nourishing, and deceptively simple. Fragrant ginger, garlic, and onion simmer in rich bone broth to create a deeply savory base, while tender spoon-dropped “wontons” cook directly in the soup, soaking up all that flavor without any fussy folding. Baby bok choy adds freshness and crunch, and a drizzle of chili oil at the table brings just the right amount of heat. It’s the kind of soup that feels comforting and restorative, equally perfect for a quiet weeknight or feeding a table full of people who need something warm and satisfying.
