Course keto, low carb, Soup

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs chicken feet, scrubbed very well
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 carrots, cut up
  • 4 celery sticks, cut up
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 1 tbsp peppercorns, or to taste
  • 8 sprigs parsley
  • 6 quarts pure water, more if needed
  • 1/4 cup white wine or cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • If necessary, peel away and discard any yellow membrane that adheres to the chicken feet, then chop off the claws. (The process of defeathering chickens often removes that yellow membrane; however, if it remains, it — and the talons — can create off flavors in the broth.)
  • Combine the chicken feet, onion, celery, carrots, peppercorns, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, and wine in a large, heavy stockpot.
  • Cover the chicken feet and other ingredients with the water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately decrease the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8 to 12 hours, adding water as necessary to keep the feet submerged. From time to time, skim away any scum that might rise to the surface.
  • Strain the broth, discarding the solids, then pour it into jars, cover, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze it for up to 6 months.
