I created this recipe on the spur of the moment for a friend who was coming to visit. I knew she enjoyed soup, so I decided to liven up my usual vegetable soup by adding oxtails. Little did I know, oxtails were her favorite and she hadn't had them for years! Was she pleased when I sent the leftovers home with her!

OXTAIL SOUP



Oxtail Soup image

Pam Panyasiri served a version of this simple soup at her beloved restaurant, Pam Real Thai Food, in Midtown until it closed in 2001. It is not a staple of Thai menus, but it should be: it would make a French chef bow down in reverence. There is almost nothing to it: oxtails, boiled in seasoned water until very soft, then finished with chili, lime juice, scallion and cilantro, and usually crisp-fried onions or shallots.

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds not-too-lean oxtail, cut into 1-inch sections, rinsed
2 cups chopped tomatoes
2 6-inch cinnamon sticks
6 star anise
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, toasted and ground (or use ground coriander)
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground (or use ground cumin)
1/2 cup neutral oil, like corn or canola, optional
1 cup small onions or shallots, thinly sliced, for garnish, optional
1 teaspoon chopped fresh red Thai chili, or to taste, or chili powder or flakes
1/3 cup lime juice, or more
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish, or more
1/4 cup minced scallion for garnish

Steps:

  • Put oxtail in a pot with water to cover and add tomatoes, cinnamon, star anise, soy sauce, coriander and cumin. Bring to a boil over high heat, then adjust the heat so it simmers steadily but not violently; cook until tender; stir occasionally, and add more boiling water if needed to keep meat covered. Cook until tender, about 2 hours.
  • If using crisp onion garnish, put oil in an 8- or 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onions, and stir occasionally, until they are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  • When meat is done, add chili and lime juice; taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon into individual bowls, and garnish with cilantro and scallion. If you are using onions, garnish soup with them and serve.

OXTAIL SOUP



Oxtail soup image

Forget canned soup - this homemade oxtail soup has great taste. The recipe takes a little more effort, but if you can spare the time it's well worth it

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Soup, Starter, Supper

Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½kg oxtail , cut into about 4 pieces
small handful thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
small bunch fresh parsley , leaves and stalks separated
½ tsp black peppercorns , roughly crushed
small piece star anise
½ bottle red wine
4 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion , roughly chopped
2 carrots , roughly chopped
2 sticks celery , roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves , bashed once and peeled
1 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp ketchup
2l beef stock

Steps:

  • Up to two days ahead, tip the oxtail into a bowl and season with a little salt. Tie the thyme sprigs, bay leaves and parsley stalks together and put in the bowl with the peppercorns and star anise. Pour over the wine, then cover and chill for up to 48 hrs.
  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Lift the oxtail out of the marinade, reserving the mixture. Heat a drizzle of the oil in a large casserole pan and, in batches if needed, brown the oxtail. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add another drizzle of oil and cook the carrots, onion, celery and garlic until just starting to brown. Stir in the flour and ketchup and cook until you have a thick paste. Pour over the reserved marinade and simmer for 1 min. Nestle the oxtail back in the pan and pour over as much stock as you can, chilling any extra to use later. Bring everything to a gentle boil, scoop off any froth then cover and place in the oven for 3 hrs 30 mins, stirring once or twice until the meat is very tender.
  • Remove the soup from the oven and leave to cool slightly, then lift the oxtail from the broth and shred the meat using two forks. Discard the bones and transfer the meat to a bowl. Sieve the liquid into another bowl, then cover and chill overnight.
  • Remove and discard any fat that has solidified on top of the soup. Tip the broth into a saucepan and simmer until silky, adding more stock if the broth is too thick. Stir through the shredded meat until warmed through. Season to taste, then ladle into bowls and scatter over some parsley leaves, if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oxtails: Look for oxtails that are meaty and have a good amount of fat. Avoid oxtails that are too bony or have been frozen for too long.
  • Brown the oxtails before cooking: Browning the oxtails in a little bit of oil before adding them to the soup pot helps to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
  • Season the soup well: Don't be afraid to add a generous amount of salt and pepper to the soup. You can also add other spices, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary, to taste.
  • Simmer the soup for a long time: The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be. Aim to simmer the soup for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have the time.

Conclusion:

Oxtail soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively inexpensive soup to make, making it a great option for budget-minded cooks. With a little bit of effort, you can make a pot of oxtail soup that will warm you up from the inside out.
