Traditional vegetable oxtail soup recipe. Oxtail is a strong soup that lets you know it’s on the table. Very delicious for winter or summer menus, the subtle blending of ingredients makes the final result so tasty that I like to follow it with a light main course such as a souffle, a salad, or an omelet.
My rules for soup are simple. First, the soup must be light. I favor black mushroom not only because it’s a light soup but also is complements all other dishes so well, and you can serve it any time of the year.
Hot soups like a traditional vegetable oxtail soup recipe should be served to steam hot in bowls that have been warmed in the oven or filled with boiling hot water and let stand before the soup comes to the table.
In this topic, I propose you 2 different styles to cook oxtail soup with different ingredients.
