Instructions

In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and cook the wontons according to package instructions.
Use the handle of your knife to pound the white part of the green onion stalks into the cutting board to release the flavors.
Add oil to another large pot and sauté green onion stalks under medium heat for about a minute, then add garlic and ginger. If you prefer not to have garlic and ginger chunks in your soup, grate them into the pot. Sauté until the garlic just starts to turn golden.
Carefully pour in the chicken broth and allow it to simmer for 15 minutes, then use tongs to discard the green onion stalks.
Add soup soy sauce and ground white pepper to the broth. If the broth is not salty enough, add regular salt as needed to taste.
Add the cooked wontons to individual bowls and ladle in the broth.
Garnish with green onions and top with chili garlic sauce or chili oil for a spicy kick (optional).

Freezing: Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers or resealable bags. Freeze for up to 2-3 months.

Reheating: Thaw frozen soup overnight in the refrigerator if necessary, then reheat gently on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat individual portions in the microwave.
