Okay, so by now I figure I really like to make my own soups and once cooked I take my submerging blender and blend away. This past weekend went to an Asian Market and bought the following:
Bok Choy (the smaller ones - I heard they were sweeter than the larger ones)
poopake mushrooms
Ubo (sweet veggy)
Kabucha (Squash)
Daikon
Fresh Ginger Root
Chicken Feet (I like making my own chicken stock and I hear the tendons in the feet make for a richer chicken stock)
So, I add the chicken feet to water and let it cook for about forever.
Once done, I throw away the feet (although my Asian friend says she has a certain way to cook them and loves them...so next time I may just keep the feet and ask her for the recipe which I will share with you guys).
Once the chicken stock is done add the ingredients listed above - cube the veggies, slice the ginger and just throw in the poopakes.
Also add the following right now:
celery diced
garlic - about 3 or four cloves
red peppers diced, red hot pepper flakes,
salt/pepper to taste
lime juice, as much as you like.
Let these cook until the veggies are soft
Turn off the heat and let cool
Once cooled, submerge your blender and blend away
Serve with garnish of avocado, or heavy cream or whatever your little heart desires.
I often, and this is where it turns away from being vegetarian, cook in water some chicken breasts and then cut cubes into the soup.
I may also sprinkle ground golden flaxseed over the soup.
I hope this sounds appetizing - It sure is good! - I'm eating some right now for lunch.

okay, poopcake mushrooms is ridiculous - I said sh.... I..... ta k eeeee
-
Wouldn't the chicken stock base move it away from being vegetarian before you even start? That being said, it does sound wonderful.
-
Well goodness sakes, I never thought about that.......I guess using chicken feet probably would draw it away from being vegetarian. Okay, so then just use plain old water...that should do it. Ooooooops!

For us meat eaters...
The cartilage in the feet joints will slightly thicken the soup.
It's also good for our own bone joints.
This would also work with meats that come with joints, like ox tails (really cow tails). ;)
Nice recipe!... I'll have to give it a try sometime! ;D

Bet it would be good with a nice vegetable stock as the base too.

Had to giggle over the 'censorship', it's happened before. Recognised what must have happened.
Recipe sounds yum, though the feet part creeps me out. Think may use wings instead. They will also provide a little meat.

I have to admit, the feet thing creaped me out, too. The long nails were still on them!!!!!!!!! :o
And, when I started to dip my strainer into the stock to get the feet out, they were a little greasy and kept sliding around and some fell on the floor and I was making funny screeching sounds, like yikes and eeps, etc.! It was funny. Had to wash the floor in that area once I was done.
-
Yes, a nice vegetable stock would work really well. Great idea!
-
BAHAHAHAHAHA - That is so funny- made my night!!! It changed it from poopake to poopcake ;D. You know I must post that on facebook tomorrow! BTW - I will never make this. Ever. Chicken feet???????

Sounds lovely, except the feet thing :D
-
Hey guys, you have to think.....paradigm shift....in your cooking. Chicken feet - just a little matter to get over. :D ;D Great picture Doug! The soup stock is much heartier and such a lovely end product color!
-
Whoops - mine changed it to poopcake too!!!!!!!
-
Kim, you are too funny!!! :D
-
I just remembered, I also added a half head of cauliflower to the stock.
-
Wow, Doug!... That picture looks like something from a sci-fi horror movie! :o
It's strange. But pigs' feet don't bother me.
But something about the look chickens' feet, I also find creepy.
