I made oxtail soup with vegetables and barley all last winter. Delish. There’s nothing like the flavor of oxtails. I wondered how it could be so filling. This article clears that up.
We had a winter condo in Incline Village for a few years and whenever we were there we would eat at the Black Forest where they had the best oxtail soup I ever tasted — try as I might, I could never make my own as good.
