Notes
Note on the broth: You can use any combination of chicken broth, beef broth, veggie broth, etc. I used half bone broth to up the protein.
The wontons get soggy and/or break apart when they sit in the broth for too long. If you’re making this for meal prep or planning on leftovers, I suggest boiling the wontons in a separate pot of water and combining just before eating for best results.
