This is truly an Irish classic. Yes, I know. Oxtail soup has varieties the world over from Thailand to the United States to Argentina to Pakistan. Over time, there will be other varieties that I may put up, but this is my favorite, and like I've said before I'm trying to get the stuff that I love up here first. Hearty meat and vegetables, delicious broth. Simply can't go wrong.
