HEARTY OXTAIL SOUP

Hearty Oxtail Soup image

I created this recipe on the spur of the moment for a friend who was coming to visit. I knew she enjoyed soup, so I decided to liven up my usual vegetable soup by adding oxtails. 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!

HEARTY OXTAIL STEW

Hearty Oxtail Stew image

An old family recipe and one of my favorite things to eat on a cold winter day! Notes: I like to keep the oxtail meat on the bones when serving- they taste delicious, too! But feel free to remove them after cooking and shred the meat if you prefer. Also try adding less water to this recipe and making a pot-pie from it.
