oxtail soup is a hearty dish made primarily from the tail of cattle, known as oxtail. The meat is rich in flavor and becomes tender when slow-cooked. The soup typically includes vegetables like carrots, onions, and celery, along with herbs and spices for added depth. To prepare oxtail soup, the oxtail is usually browned first to enhance its flavor. It is then simmered for several hours in broth, allowing the collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in a thick, flavorful soup. This dish is popular in various cuisines, including Caribbean and Asian cooking.
