Yummy!!! This is my first experience cooking with oxtails and it won't be my last! =) What a rich broth....It reminded me of a good scotch broth/pepper pot soup. I love it. I used a pressure cooker to make this soup. First I cooked the beef for 30 minutes and then simmered the vegetables for another 30. Really warming and hearty! Five containers of this great stuff stacked in the freezer waiting to go to work with me soon. Thanks sooo much for posting! =)
