Instructions
Making the broth
- Add the broth ingredients to a saucepan and stir to combine. Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the broth sit (covered) for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours infuse.

Assembling the soup
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the wontons one at a time and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on the size of the wontons), or until the wontons float to the top.
- Meanwhile, remove the ginger and spring onions from the broth using a slotted spoon or spider. Reheat the broth to a simmer over medium-high heat. Taste and adjust seasoning, to your liking.
- Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer the cooked wontons straight into serving bowls. Ladle the broth over the wontons then serve and enjoy!
