here is a post about the difference between broth and stock....what we make for chicken feet soup is STOCK, not broth.


Chicken broth is usually made with chicken meat and chicken parts, with a high flesh to bone ratio. Whole chicken or assorted parts can be used. Fryers and roasters, both readily available at your local supermarket, do not produce satisfactory results. Stewing hens produce the best broth and are often available in the poultry section in your market. If you cannot find them do not hesitate to ring for assistance - the poultry manager will usually order them for you. For the more adventuresome, you may be able to locate someone who has a small flock of laying hens that are past their prime for egg production. Purchase one or two of them to slaughter and dress yourself. The reduction time for chicken broth at sea level is about 3 hours.

Chicken stock is made mostly of chicken parts that have a very low flesh to bone ratio. Backs, necks and breast bones produce the best stock. These bony parts are also readily available at your local supermarket, either in the case or by special order. It is also advantageous to buy whole chickens and cut them up yourself for other recipes. You can then freeze backbones, wing tips, and other parts not used in your original recipe until you are ready to make your stock. To achieve the maximum extraction of gelée from the chicken bones the reduction time at sea level is 6 hours. Water, vegetables, herbs, and salt are ingredients that are common to both stock and broth.


i hope this helps!

In stock, such as chicken, beef, or fish stock, animal bones are the main ingredient. These bones are typically braised first, then transferred into a large kettle or pot with water to cover. Stock is heated slowly over a low flame for several hours, preventing the water from boiling..Broth, on the other hand, is mostly made from meat. While the cooking process is very similar to stock, the results are slightly different. Broth is more subdued than stock, as it tiptoes lightly into the mouth with a softer texture and milder flavor. Broth's taste is known to stand on its own, as the meat gives broth a finished distinction.
