Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place oxtails and unpeeled garlic cloves in a large roasting pan. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, allowing the oxtails to develop a rich, caramelized flavor. (30 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the roasted oxtails to a large soup pot. Peel the roasted garlic cloves and place them in a food processor along with the celery, carrots, and onion. Process until finely chopped, then transfer the vegetable mixture to the soup pot with the oxtails. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Add water to the pot, ensuring the oxtails are covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for 2 hours, allowing the oxtails to become incredibly tender and infuse the broth with their rich flavor. (130 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the oxtails from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Add the beef broth and diced turnips to the soup pot. Simmer until the turnips are just barely tender, about 10 minutes. (12 minutes)

07

Step

Add the frozen okra and corn to the soup. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked through. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Once the oxtails are cool enough to handle, pick the meat from the bones and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Add the oxtail meat back to the soup. (10 minutes)

09

Step

Season the soup generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add a dash of hot sauce, if desired, for a touch of heat. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Ladle into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread, biscuits, or cornbread for dipping.

For an even richer flavor, consider browning the oxtails in a Dutch oven before roasting.
If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the celery, carrots, and onion by hand.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as potatoes, parsnips, or green beans.
The soup can be made ahead of time and reheated. In fact, the flavors meld and deepen even more after a day or two in the refrigerator.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference.
