Souper thread revived!
16 Nov 2013, 17:25
Today at the market, I bought a pack of ox tails from a local farmer. They smell absolutely deeeeeevine (in the slow cooker) and I plan to strip the meat and turn it into Oxtail soup (nothing like the canned variety).

It's a lot of work and time, but so satisfying in the cold winter days.

We had a soup thread months ago, but just thought, with so many new members, I'd start another!

Any other souper ideas? :wink:

We have a glut of Kale in the garden (it feels odd saying that in November) and although OH loves it, it's a bit too iron -y for me, so I thought I might try it in a version of the Caribbean Calloo soup. I will report back

Hi everyone,

What a coincidence. I bought some beef for soup on Friday and plan to make a beef & barley soup on Sunday. Nothing warms the soul like soup. Yummy. :heart:

Just reporting that my oxtail soup is delicious! Yes, a lot of messy work, but 'worth it'.

I will have to nip to the butchers and get some ox-tail. I haven't had any for years. With the slow cooker it makes all the sloww simmering so much easier.
My favourite at the moment is a chinese chicken soup, noodles are optional.
Sping onions sauted in butter, then small diced chicken fried off, add some garlic, ginger (powder or fresh is OK) a bit of chilli and cook for 10 minutes. Thicken slightly with arrowroot if you have it to keep the soup clear, or cornflour. Add the noodles after 5 minutes of cooking if you are using them.

Baked garlic and cauliflower soup and mushroom garlic and spinach soup on recipe forum here are fabulous for fast days. So what do you do with the ox tail as I do an oxtail stew am wondering what the soup entails

Basically stripping the meat from the bones and then blitzing it with all the veg and stock cooked with it. Yum!!
