I'm glad they are available for you. I don't have an Asian store near me, so I can't get them.
Yes, they will thicken the soup - not really thick, it will just have a wonderful body and won't be "watery". I checked out the website, too. Looks like a good one - their stock recipes sound right on. Thanks for the link.
Enjoy your chicken feet soup!
