Note

Do not overcook the wonton strips, as they can become mushy if left in the broth too long.

You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for the pork for a leaner version.

For extra flavor, add a dash of sesame oil or a squeeze of lime juice before serving.

Leftover soup will thicken as the wonton strips absorb the broth; add extra water or broth when reheating.
