Chicken Wonton Soup

[BunnyLove 28]

I've been making this lately whenever anyone has had a bug or has just needed some really good Soup. The wontons are small and tasty, the broth is gently spiced, and it's faster (and cheaper!) than take-out.

This recipe is good for two servings for me.

1/2 C cooked, chopped chicken, white and/or dark meat - this is a great reason to keep 1/4 to 1/2 cup portions of your leftovers in the freezer.

1 can chicken broth (I use concentrated refrigerated stock, but it's roughly equal to a can)

8 frozen mini cilantro-chicken wontons - you can get these from costco or Trader Joe's

You can either use dehydrated vegetable flakes or, if you have a variety of fresh vegetables and want to grate them in, add what you like. Use a tablespoon if you use the dehydrated kind.

The following are all to your taste:

Ginger, chopped or paste

Garlic, chopped or paste

Scallions, chopped

Cilantro, chopped or paste

Black sesame oil

Sesame seeds

Soy sauce OR Bragg's liquid Aminos (the Bragg's tastes almost exactly like soy and is healthier)

Bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan, add the chicken, wontons and vegetables, and reduce to a simmer. Add the remaining ingredients except the scallions and black sesame oil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in a teaspoon of the oil, and serve with the scallions sprinkled on top.
