Ingredients

• 300 grams ground chicken breast
• 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 24 pieces wonton wrappers
• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups bok choy, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups water
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken breast, green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 2

Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each wrapper.

Step 3

Dampen the edges of each wonton wrapper with a little water, then fold them in half to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. Bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together and press to seal, forming a boat shape.

Step 4

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth and 4 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Carefully drop the wontons into the boiling broth and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

Step 6

Add the chopped bok choy, sliced carrot, and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 7

Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving gets an equal amount of wontons and vegetables.

Step 9

Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your comforting bowl of low-fat wonton soup!
