Making this classic Chinese soup is a lot of fun and easier than you might think -- it's the perfect snow-day activity.

Ingredients

24 rectangular (3 ½-by-3-inch) or square wonton wrappers
1 recipe Wonton Filling
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
Coarse salt
3 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 to 3 teaspoons rice vinegar
½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Directions

Make wontons.
Make soup: In a large pot, combine broth, 4 cups water, and 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Add wontons one at a time; return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until wontons are just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in scallions, vinegar, and sesame oil; season with salt. Serve.

Cook's Notes

Sometimes called "skins," wonton wrappers are often available in the produce aisle of supermarkets. Look for them next to egg-roll wrappers and tofu. Those found in Asian markets (either in the refrigerated section or in the freezer) may be more fragile than the others.
