Sea Snail Chicken Soup
Soup Name: Sea Snail Chicken Soup
Introduction:
One of the best perks of updating TheChineseSoupLady.com is the excuse to buy and try new chinese soups! Although I enjoy drinking soups made with sea snails in local chinese restaurants, I have never used this ingredient before myself. After returning from a trip where I traveled by plane and was feeling dry-eyed with dry skin and a dry throat, I decided to create a moistening soup to help my body to fully rehydrate. It turned out wonderfully. It was delicious and, after a large bowl of soup followed by a good night’s sleep, I feel 100% myself again.
7 pieces chicken feet
2 slices sea snail (dried)
1 palm adenophora root (dried)
1 palm solomon’s seal (dried)
8 pieces dried chinese yam slices
2 large dried dates
15 g wolfberries (dried)
2-3 L of water
How do I prepare it?
-
Wash and soak the dried sea snail slices for 20 minutes
-
Start boiling your water soupPut all ingredients into the boiling water
-
In a separate pot, blanch the chicken feet and strain it removing any dirt and debris from the blanching
-
Trim the nails and hardened skin from the chicken feet and add them to the boiling water of your soup
-
Cut the softened sea snail into easy-to-eat pieces (I prefer long, thin slices).
-
Place all ingredients into your boiling soup water.

Boil on high for 30 minutes. Reduce to simmering for 2 hours (or use internal pot).
- Serve and enjoy!
