Instructions
1. Prep Your Vegetables
Chop the bok choy leaves into manageable bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onions, separating the whites from the greens.

Tips for the Best Easy Wonton Soup
- Make it heartier: Add cooked rice or rice noodles.
- Add protein: Stir in a soft-boiled egg.
- More heat: Add extra chili crisp or sriracha.
- Extra greens: Toss in spinach or napa cabbage.
Why This Recipe Works
The miso ginger broth adds depth without any extra seasoning. The mini wontons cook directly in the broth, releasing flavor while staying tender. Bok choy keeps it fresh and light, while chili crisp adds that addictive finish.
Minimal ingredients. Minimal effort. Maximum comfort.
