For a richer broth, consider using homemade chicken stock. Adjust the amount of filling in each wonton according to your preference. Smaller wontons will cook faster. Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or mushrooms to the soup for added flavor and texture. The wontons can be prepared ahead of time and frozen. Simply add them directly to the boiling soup when ready to cook. A dash of sesame oil or a sprinkle of toasted garlic can enhance the flavor of the finished dish.
