Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Wonton Egg Drop Soup
- Begin by bringing a medium pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the frozen wontons and cook them for 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and appear tender. Gently stir to keep them from sticking together, then drain and set the wontons aside on a plate while you prepare the broth.
- In a separate pot, pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the chicken bouillon powder, ground ginger, turmeric, salt, and white pepper. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally, allowing the spices to blend into a fragrant and flavorful broth for about 5 minutes.
- Once the broth is simmering nicely, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the simmering broth and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds.
- Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. In a bowl, whisk your eggs thoroughly before slowly drizzling them into the pot while stirring the broth gently, allowing the soup to cook for about 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set.
- To finish, stir in the sesame oil and the cooked wontons, folding them gently into the warm broth. Cook for another minute to ensure everything is heated through.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with chopped green onions for a burst of freshness.

Notes
For a thinner soup, omit the cornstarch slurry. Consider adding quick-cooking vegetables like bok choy or snap peas just before serving for extra nutrition.
