In a stock pot, add approximately 3.5 quarts of chicken broth.

Add 2 star anise, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 piece of ginger, and 2 cinnamon sticks to the broth.

Turn the heat on to simmer and let it cook for about 15 to 30 minutes, covered.

Slice a small carrot and add it to the simmering broth.

Soak 0.5 ounces of dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for about half an hour to rehydrate them.

Strain the water from the mushrooms and add them to the soup after it has been simmering for about 30 minutes, using a slotted spoon to remove the solids while leaving the carrots in the broth.

Add 1 cup of shredded chicken to the soup, which can be leftover chicken or from a rotisserie chicken.

Pour in 1 full pack of Trader Joe's Chicken cilantro mini wontons and let them simmer in the soup for about 5 minutes until cooked.
