Best Wonton Soup

by Jessie

This is the best wonton soup! It's easy, too, because it uses frozen wontons. The fresh ginger really makes it good. I think the napa cabbage makes it more authentic, but I've used plain cabbage when I didn't have the napa and that was good, too.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 quart chicken broth

1 dozen frozen pork wontons

1 cup snow peas, halved crosswise

1 cup shredded nappa cabbage

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Directions:

Put oil and garlic into a soup kettle and cook on medium until garlic is just softened.

Add broth and turn heat up to high so it comes to a boil. Add the wontons to the boiling broth. When it starts to boil again, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until dumplings are tender.

Stir in peas, napa cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, and ginger. Let simmer for about 5 minutes more.
