Oxtail soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is made with oxtails, which are the bones of the ox's tail. The bones are simmered in a broth with vegetables, herbs, and spices until the meat is tender and the broth is rich and flavorful. Oxtail soup is often served with a side of bread or rice, and it can also be used as a base for other dishes, such as stews and casseroles.

HEARTY OXTAIL SOUP

Little did I know, oxtails were her favorite and she hadn't had them for years! Was she pleased when I sent the leftovers home with her!

OXTAIL SOUP WITH RED WINE AND ROOT VEGETABLES
During hard times, luxury cuts like steaks and chops give way to humbler ones. None are humbler than the oxtail, and all across the country, depression-era cooks made much of it, frequently in soup. Even in these days, when humble cuts have become restaurant menu stars, soup is still a good way to go with oxtails.

MOM'S OXTAIL SOUP
I remember my Mom making Oxtail soup during the cool winter rainy months. I can still remember coming home on a cold raining day after school and the wonderful smell of her Oxtail Vegetable soup. Most kids came home to milk and cookies, but not us kids. We came home to homemade soups during the winter months! It's kind of funny,...

Steps:
- 1. Origins of ox-tail soup It may not be generally known that the familiar ox-tail soup had its origin during the Reign of Terror in Paris in 1793, when many of the nobility were reduced to starvation and absolute beggary. The abatoirs sent their hides fresh to the tanners without removing the tails, and in cleaning them the tails were thrown away. One day one of the noble beggars, while happening to pass a tannery, noticed a pile of discarded tails, and asking for one it was willingly given to him. He took it to his lodging and made what is now famous - the first dish of ox-tail soup. He immediately told his friends of the good luck he had had, with the natural result that the tanners were soon annoyed to such an extent by the demand for ox-tails that a price was put on them.
- 2. Place the oxtails in large pan with water. Bring to boil slowly. Skim the ICK off the top. Turn down to a slimmer. Slightly cover pan and cook the oxtails till almost tender. Add all the vegetables and tomato juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking until the meat is falling off the bones.
- 3. Serve hot with a dab of sour cream on top of soup and with Rye Bread or some warm French Bread. Mom mostly cooked from fresh vegetables, but as time and convenience took over life she started using frozen or canned.

- Choose the right oxtails: Look for oxtails that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid oxtails that are too fatty or have a lot of sinew.
- Soak the oxtails: Soaking the oxtails in cold water for several hours or overnight will help to remove any impurities and blood. This will also help to tenderize the meat.
- Brown the oxtails: Browning the oxtails in a hot pan before simmering them in the soup will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables to the soup will help to add flavor and nutrients. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and potatoes.
- Season the soup to taste: Use your favorite herbs and spices to season the soup to taste. Some good choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Simmer the soup for several hours: The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the soup for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good choices for toppings include crusty bread, crackers, or rice. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
