- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 12-16 frozen or refrigerated wonton wrappers
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

- In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and green onions to the simmering broth. Let the soup cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the flavors have melded together.
- While the soup is simmering, prepare the wontons. If using frozen wonton wrappers, thaw them according to the package instructions.

- Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with a little water, then fold them over to enclose the filling and press the edges to seal. You can leave the wontons as is or fold them into a triangle or shape of your choice.
- Carefully drop the filled wontons into the simmering soup one by one. Let the wontons cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender.
- Once the wontons are cooked, ladle the Lazy Wonton Soup into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
- Serve the soup hot, with sriracha or chili oil on the side for those who enjoy a spicy kick.
