This fresh and vibrant broth is healthy and easy to make.

1L (4 cups) chicken stock
1/3 cup (80ml) light soy sauce
2 star anise
4 slices fresh ginger
350g packet frozen prawn wontons
2 baby bok choy, sliced thickly
1 long red chilli, seeds removed, thinly sliced
1/2 cup coriander leaves

Method

1.

Place the stock, soy, star anise and ginger in a saucepan with 2 cups (500ml) water. Bring to the boil, then simmer over low heat for 15 minutes until fragrant. Discard the ginger.
2.

Increase heat to medium, then stir the wontons into the simmering stock. Once they rise to the surface, cook for a further 1 minute, then add the bok choy. Continue to cook for a further 1 minute or until the wontons are cooked through and greens are wilted. Divide the soup, wontons and bok choy among bowls, then serve garnished with sliced chilli and coriander.
