As a child who grew up on a farm, with a huge garden, Mom fixed all kinds of things. When she made this, she used what ever vegetable was in abundance. Each batch was a little different, but it was always good! The broth has a rich flavor that satisfies the taste buds.

How To Make oxtail soup

  • 1
    Rinse Ox Tails, then Chop into 2 inch chunks. dredge in flour, and season with salt and pepper. Pour oil in skillet, and heat. Add flour covered tails, and brown.Remove from pan, put in crock pot. Next, sauté onions, only adding a little more oil if needed.
  • 2
    Crush garlic, then chop all vegetables. Put all ingredients in the pot.

    Cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until meat falls from the bone. Before serving, I like to remove and discard bones, and the bay leaf.
