Liquid and Seasonings:

Instructions
- Infuse chicken broth with aromatic ginger and garlic by crushing them and immersing in the rapidly bubbling liquid, creating a rich, fragrant base.

- Carefully ladle the steaming soup into serving bowls, ensuring an equal distribution of wontons, vegetables, and broth.
- Elevate the visual appeal and add a fresh, sharp note by sprinkling finely chopped scallions across the surface of each bowl, providing a vibrant green garnish that complements the warm, comforting soup.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, allowing diners to experience the harmonious blend of flavors and textures in this simple yet sophisticated wonton soup.
Notes
- Crush ginger gently to maximize its aromatic flavor without making the broth bitter, releasing essential oils that enhance the soup’s depth.
