Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 large chicken breast, cut into halves 

  • 1.5 cups chunky low carb salsa 

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375F.

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.
