Creating Deconstructed Wonton Soup is a breeze when you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a separate pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
3. Cook the Protein: Add ground pork or chicken to the pan with garlic and ginger. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped green onions, shredded carrots, and bok choy or spinach. Sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. Combine with Broth: Transfer the cooked mixture into the simmering broth. Add soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Let it simmer gently for another 5 minutes.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce or salt as desired.
7. Prepare Wonton Wrappers (Optional): If using wonton wrappers, quickly fry or bake them until crispy for garnish.
8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh cilantro and crispy wonton wrappers if desired.

These straightforward steps will guide you to create a delicious and comforting bowl of Deconstructed Wonton Soup that everyone will adore.
