- Chicken Broth: 4 cups low-sodium recommended
- Bok Choy: 2 cups chopped
- Carrots: 1 medium thinly sliced or julienned
- Mushrooms: 1 cup sliced (shiitake or button mushrooms)

Instructions
Prepare the Broth
- In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, garlic, and ginger. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow the flavors to meld together for about 5-7 minutes.
Cook the Wontons
- Gently drop the wontons into the simmering broth. Let them cook for 4-5 minutes or until they float to the top. If you're using frozen wontons, they might need an extra minute or two.
Add the Vegetables
- Once the wontons are cooked, add the chopped bok choy, carrots, and mushrooms to the pot. Let everything simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Optional Protein
- If you're adding chicken, shrimp, or tofu, now's the time. Simply stir in the protein and let it heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Final Seasoning
- Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you like a bit more depth, add a splash of soy sauce to enhance the umami flavor.
Garnish and Serve
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve it hot and enjoy the comforting warmth of this hearty soup!
