i just bought a bag of chicken feet and am also going to make chicken feet soup!
i definitely agree that the soup is a way to go - even though i used to eat these as a child, i'm not very into eating chicken feet now as a grown-up (too westernised now i guess), especially not daily
. also, part of what makes the broth work is the slow cooking - it will take out the best parts and make it more easy to absorb.
and definitely, it makes a nice tasting broth if you add spices and vegetables afterwards just like any other chicken broth!
anastasia, i am taking the collagen supplements that you had recommended years ago on the noogle forum and they really work. my husband has had a hard time with his joints, and he found that was the only thing he's tried in years that have made that BIG of a difference. THANKS! i also think that there's nothing you need to take, but the chicken feet soup would most likely supplement /enhance the collagen you are already taking; maybe just as often as you can instead of every day? you mentioned you have a crockpot. that would make it really easy to do. in my experience, if you can get the feet from chinatown, they have already been cleaned, and if you aren't Eating the feet, you can throw them in with the talons.
