I need your advice for my soup!!!!!!! Thx

Dear all,
Today i bought some chicken feet and papaya for soup-making. Washed and cut the papaya, cleaned the chicken feet. Boiled water and chucked in some crushed garlic and ginger. Then threw in the chicken feet and let it simmer for about 2 hours, then added in the papaya. Add in some salt. I am wondering if there are other seasonings which could help to improve the sweetness of the soup. Seems like there isnt much sweet taste. I do not have cooking experiences and hope someone could help to advise. What else can i add in as ingredients?
Also, the papaya i bought was supposingly "GREEN" as it was unripe, feels hard and looks green from outside. However the papaya's flesh is reddish inside but hard, is this the way it is even when it is unripe?
TQ!!

When my feet soup is done, I like to take out the feet, add a little salt and eat them, with the soup some times I add in some tomato, veggies, or seaweeds, you can add some cooking wine, soy sauce or sesame oil or all above.
You can also use the soup to make some instant noodles(came with seasoning already) or egg drop soup, tofu vegi soup, whatever you like.

when I buy green papaya, inside is ually white, sometimes a bit yellow or reddish, if it's still hard it should be unripe.

You can't always know the ripeness of papaya from the color. But as Fengshui says the unripe papaya is hard. If you can press papaya and it yields a little you can know the papaya is a ripe one.

Hi, Blue-Jay,
Chicken feet contain gelatin/collagen, and barely any fat,
Collagen is a type of protein found in connective tissues like cartilage and skin. Gelatin is the jelly substance composed of hydrolyzed collagen (collagen imbued with water molecules). The collagen from the chicken feet leaches into the water during the cooking and the liquid will solidify if left alone and cooled.
