It's the same as you use chicken broth. You can drink the feet soup as is (season as you wish), or use the stock to make any soup you like. You can add vegi or noodles,.... whatever you want.

fengshui,
have you kept your growth? or do you still do some maintenance massage/diet?
ive also been concerned with the negative effects of soy. have you experienced any during/after your programme?

Yes, I have kept my growth. I stopped my programme Feb.07, and my pics were taken in Oct. 08.
I do some maintenance and boobie soups from time to time, don't know if it's necessary, but I hope by doing that my boobs will never sag.
I have been drinking soy milk since I was a kid almost everyday (over 30 some years), don't ever have any problem with it. I do know if you make homemade soy milk you need to boil (keep simmer) for at least few min.

Hey fengshui ;-),
There's been a lot of soy articles around saying it's good vs bad, what's your take on soy?

soup has not gelled up
March 28 2009, 4:18 PM
I did some chicken feet soup yesterday too. I cooked it for about 1.5-2 hrs but my soup has not gelled up. It looks just like chicken broth- quite thin. Did I do something wrong? Maybe I should've cooked it longer?
By the way the feet themselves are quite tasty though a little hard to convince myself to eat it!

Even after you stuck it in the fridge it didnt get the jelly look?
Mine was pretty thin too but it turned into jello stuff after it got cold. Also did it have the greyish beige color after you finished simmering?
My first batch did not, so I figured I didnt cook them long enough, so this past time I did it for closer to 3 hours and they got that color so...

When I made my first batch of chicken feet soup. I used about 12 chicken feet. I boiled them for about 15 minutes discarded half of that boiled water to remove white residue. Then I reboiled for about an hour and then lowered heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. After I cooled it for about an hour. I put in containers and put them in the refrigerator and the next day it had gelled up.

Yeah, I now realized that it takes time for the soup to gell up.

hi Delicate41
Just curious, why are you removing the white residue and half the water? I think you could be restricting your collagen extraction process.

Hi Topablue
I believe I read that in Fengshuei personal program page to dispose of the first 10 minutes of the boiled water or the top milky part of the water.

thanks Delicate41...I've just scrolled through Fengshui's PP and couldn't find any reference to it..
I'm just curious to the purpose of this step, I've never done it before, I just rinse my chicken feet before starting. My end product is about the consistency of agar agar.
Fengshui - any guidance?

Here's how I did it
April 1 2009, 4:34 PM
When I made Chicken feet soup I followed this recipe exactly. 2 pounds of feet (only a few bucks!), long cooking time, reducing the soup down to a stock. When it was done I poured most of it into ice cube trays and froze it. Now I have little cubes that I just pop into a bowl of miso soup, or into pasta sauce, or whatever I am eating. The stuff I didn't freeze gelled up in the fridge really fast. I think the longer you boil, the more concentrated it gets.

Hi Topazblue
I also double checked Fengshui's program and you are right it wasn't there that I read to discard.
I did a lot of research in searching for chicken feet and how to cook them that I don't remember now exactly where but I know it was somebody that I respected. I also checked Martha Stewart and other chefs to see how they cooked chicken feet so it could have been there.
As for me I always discard the white portion that rises to the top after first boil.

Hi topazblue,
Either way to cook the feet (or other) broth is fine. Discard the fist time boiling is more "professional" way to make the broth "clear", plus it will rid most of fat. (but it's not much fat from the feet broth).
I am lazy, I just scoop out the white residue and oil when it's boiled out.
It's a good way what LaReve does to get more collagen in your diet without really changing anything.
Hey, LaReve, it's a great article from that link, would you mind posting on the food and drink page? If people know the chicken feet stock is fairly commom to lots of westen people, might be easier to accept.

Hi all,
I made some chicken feet broth for the first time today. The idea hadn't appealed to me til now but have been reading all your posts and got inspired.
I boiled about 1.5 kgs of chicken feet for 2 hours, didn't really scoop anything off. Gee it jelled up a lot! I felt my boobs getting fatter just looking at it! Or was that my butt?
Anyway, I seemed to have plenty of both and have frozen some in ice cube trays- thought that was a great idea of lareve's.
I put some in a dish I made for dinner tonight

thanks ladies...I think I might scoop it out like Fengshui, normally I scoop the fat off after it's cooled.
My broth is usually rather cloudy so will be interesting to see the difference.

hey I have been making chicken feet soup exactly how fengshui explained.
I also cover the lid when the feet are cooking. soon the water is reduced.
I dont freeze it . I just leave my stockpot in the refrigerator and then it gells up.
I use 2-3 spoonfuls in any food. I am going to try making miso soup then add this in it
thanks
