2 lbs Chicken feet
1 Onion medium
1 Carrots large
3 Bell peppers red, green, and yellow
1 tbsp flour
2 tbsp Olive oil
Seasoning (paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper with a pinch of salt to taste)

Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut off the tips of the toes where the nails are located. Check for any bruises, and discard any feet that seem damaged or unusable.
Boil about 2 litres of water and transfer them to a bowl or bucket then you can dip all the chicken feet in the boiling water for up to a minute or just until it hardens and look swollen. Then dilute the water with cold water for it to be lukewarm. Or you can do 1 by one. This loosens the outer layer of the skin, do not leave them in the water for too long, as it can make the skin difficult to peel
Use your hands to peel off the yellow outer skin, making a pulling move works better from the finger base to the nail. It should come off easily after scalding. Pay extra attention to areas between the toes and around the joints.
Place the peeled chicken feet in a bowl of cold water to cool them and remove any remaining debris. Use your hands or a clean brush to scrub off any dirt.

Dice the peppers and onion then slice the carrots.
In a large pot heat up 2 tablespoons of cooking oil on medium-high heat then add the bell peppers and onions. Saute them for up to 5 minutes.
Add the carrots and seasoning and let that saute for 2 minutes more. Sprinkle a tablespoon of all-purpose flour over the veggies and mix then add 4 cups of water or chicken broth if you like followed by the cleaned chicken feet. Let this cook for 30 minutes.
Do a taste test and adjust the seasoning according to your preference, and then your chicken feet soup is ready to be served.
