Ox Tail Soup

I have a confession to make.  Not everything in my Tarantulas, Ostriches and Alligators Oh My! post is foreign to me.  I grew up seeing BBQ wild hogs hanging from store windows and tried pork/beef tongues and still eating whole fish (including the head).  So it doesn't come as a surprise that I find this dish just simply delicious and so satisfying to devour.

If you've never tried ox tail soup before and is willing to give it a go, you will be pleasantly surprised!

You'll need chunks of ox tail, slices of ginger, green onions, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and celery:

Bring a pot of water to boil: 

Add ox tail and green onions:

Boil for 10 minutes:

Then rinse and wash ox tail with cold water:

Bring a fresh pot of water and ox tail, ginger and green onions to a boil:

Meanwhile, cut potatoes and celery:

Heat oil in pan, then add chopped carrots and tomatoes - stir fry for 5 minutes:

Add carrots, tomatoes, celery and potatoes to soup:

Bring it to a boil then turn to low heat and simmer for 2 hours:

All done! Mmmmmmmmmm.........

'Till next time,

xox Lily.
