Serves 4

This recipe calls for ready-made wontons you can buy at your local Asian grocery store, but you can also try making your own.

Water for boiling wontons

24 filled wonton dumplings

6 cups chicken broth or stock

½ cup shredded napa cabbage

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 green onion, thinly sliced

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the wonton dumplings, making sure there is enough room for them to move about freely. Boil for at least 5 minutes, until the wontons rise to the top and the filling is cooked through. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon.

• Bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the cabbage and cook until tender. Season the broth with salt and pepper. Add the cooked won-tons and bring the soup back to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and add the green onion. When serving, allow 6 wontons per person.
