Traditional Oxtail Soup
This conventional oxtail soup is common all over the world, from Sri Lanka to Mexico. Requiring very few ingredients, it is quick to assemble, easy to make, and a great weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef oxtail
- 3 potatoes chopped and peeled
- 1 onion
- 1 tomato (any kind - Roma tomatoes work best)
- 3 stalks celery cubed
- 1 carrot cubed
- 1 cucumber
- 2 cups beef broth (or 2 beef bouillon cubes )
- Pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
- First, combine all of your ingredients in a large stock pot. Add water to continue filling the pot, with about an inch to two inches of headspace. All ingredients should be covered by the water.
- Cook over medium heat until vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked all the way through. Add salt and pepper to taste. It should be ready in about half an hour to an hour, depending on how tender you would like your meat and vegetables.
