I have to make sure Shrek is sleeping before I can get the chicken feet cooking...
Now, I keep kosher and I for sure believe that chicken soup is in fact Jewish penicillin.
Never ever would I consider using onion with skin on phhe... ech...
Most importantly I have cooked both kosher and non kosher chicken. Kosher chicken doesn't come close to a good plain stewing han, no gizzards (have no idea where she even found kosher chicken with gizzards, or feet for that matter, those are impossible to find in kosher) and for sure no white meat. And bay leaves? Bay leaves in chicken soup? I'm sorry this is travesty.
P.S. had to look her up, well maybe in England they sell chicken feet. Here in the States they don't. I think it is not even allowed. Near by kosher plant sends all the chicken feet they process to Israel because of that.
Well, stone the crows (as we say in the UK when surprised), CharlieD! I always believed that Manchester UK Kosher was IT in all Western Jewish households!
No chicken feet! Chicken feet sent to Israel! My father always told me 'never make assumptions', and he was right! Chicken feet to ISRAEL!
Mind you, I learned from a Tuscan chef to put a whole hen, neck, head, feet, the lot, into me minestrone. Thanks for waking me up! Much appreciated.

Couple of points. Obviously one cannot argue about recipe, just like one cannot argue about taste.
However, the only thing that skin of onion will do to soup, is to affect the color. For that I'd rather put a clean peeled carrot.
Bay leaves are traditionally do not grown in any parts of Europe where Jews used to live, so they could not possibly have used them in the traditional way the soup was made.
My grandfather loved feet and (what is it called in english?)The red thing on the top of rooster's head?
Well, Jews are not the only people who make traditional European-style chicken soup
...
I see your point and agree, but originally I was responding to the Jewish chicken soup recipe, thus my comments.
That makes sense. I kind of mixed things up
?? Here you go. LOLIt's all good. (I wish we had thumbs up emoji)
���� Here you go. LOL
This thread opened a huge cultural chat I didn't expect. Glad it did had some interesting readings. I'll read through the recipes and pick one for next week on Saturday.
I see how many say they make 'must go soup' using whatever needs to be used and heaven knows I've done that more than a time or 2. But it's nice when soup is a main attraction and you make it deliberately as a masterpiece not just a left over clean up. Although that is still very valid
