Ingredients

  • •2 cartons (64 fl oz total) Trader Joe's Miso Ginger Broth
  • •1 bag (16 oz) Trader Joe's Mini Cilantro Chicken Wontons
  • •5 oz Baby spinach
  • •1 cup Shredded carrots
  • •3-4 stalks Green onions
  • •1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
  • •1/4 cup (chopped, optional) Fresh cilantro
  • •4 (for serving, optional) Lime wedges
  • •to taste Sriracha or chili garlic sauce

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Thinly slice the green onions, separating the white and light green parts from the darker green tops. Set aside for garnish.

  2. 2.

    Pour both cartons of Trader Joe's Miso Ginger Broth into a large pot or Dutch oven. Bring the broth to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3.

    Once boiling, add the entire bag of frozen Trader Joe's Mini Cilantro Chicken Wontons and the shredded carrots to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, or until the wontons are cooked through and float to the surface.

  4. 4.

    Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach is wilted. Do not overcook.

  5. 5.

    Remove the pot from the heat. Ladle the hot soup into individual serving bowls. Garnish each bowl generously with the sliced green onions (both white and dark green parts) and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

  6. 6.

    Serve immediately with optional fresh chopped cilantro, lime wedges for a squeeze of brightness, and Sriracha or chili garlic sauce on the side for those who enjoy a spicy kick.

Tips

  • 💡**Customize Your Veggies:** Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like sliced mushrooms, snap peas, or frozen shelled edamame along with the wontons for extra nutrition and texture.
  • 💡**Boost the Flavor:** For an extra layer of umami, a splash of soy sauce or a teaspoon of white miso paste (dissolved in a little hot broth first) can be stirred in at the end.
  • 💡**Make it Heartier:** If you want a more substantial meal, consider adding pre-cooked, shredded chicken or pan-fried tofu cubes when you add the wontons.
