Vegetarian Vegan Vegetable Wonton Soup

This soup is built entirely from plant-based staples, so it's a naturally easy fit for a vegetarian table. Crumbled firm tofu, finely chopped shiitake mushrooms, and shredded napa cabbage come together into a savory, tender filling that gets folded into delicate wonton wrappers and sealed with a simple cornstarch slurry. The broth is deeply aromatic, simmered with fresh ginger and finished with toasted sesame oil, while halved baby bok choy adds color and a satisfying bite. Each bowl comes together as a comforting, restaurant-style soup with plump, silky wontons floating in a fragrant, ginger-forward broth. A drizzle of chili oil and a scatter of scallion greens finish things off with a little heat and freshness. It's a cozy, from-scratch dinner that fits neatly into a vegetarian kitchen.
