A Christmas Eve tradition. Very good with some great bread, biscuits, or cornbread. Even better as leftovers, as the flavors meld more each day!

Ingredients

3 pounds oxtails, or more as desired
½ head garlic cloves, unpeeled
3 stalks celery
2 carrots
1 medium onion
6 cups water, or as needed
1 (32 fluid ounce) container beef broth
3 small turnips, peeled and diced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen sliced okra
1 (10 ounce) package frozen small niblet corn
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 dash hot sauce, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Place oxtails and garlic cloves in a large roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Transfer oxtails to a large soup pot. Peel the roasted garlic and place in a food processor with celery, carrots, and onion. Process until finely chopped; transfer to the soup pot with the oxtails. Add water to cover the bones. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer on low for 2 hours.
Remove oxtails and set aside to cool. Add broth to the soup pot. Add turnips. Simmer until just barely tender, about 10 minutes. Add okra and corn. Simmer until cooked, about 10 minutes more.
Pick the meat from the oxtail bones and chop. Add meat to soup. Season with salt and pepper. Add hot sauce if desired.

Recipe Tips

After making the broth and removing the oxtails, the broth can be refrigerated overnight. This allows the fat to solidify and can be skimmed off to reduce the amount in the soup.

Try different vegetables in the soup, including a can of diced tomatoes, diced potatoes, rutabagas, parsnips, lima beans, or shredded cabbage.

This can also be made in a slow cooker.
