Oxtails make delicious soup. You might want to make it over two days. You start by dredging the oxtail pieces in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Braise them in olive oil. (I use olive oil for everything.) Once they are nicely browned, add some beef broth and water, diced tomatoes (or tomato paste) and sauteed celery and onions. Season with thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Simmer this mixture for a few hours. Oxtails are very fatty, so you should allow the soup to cool and skim off the excess fat. Pull the meat off the bones if desired. Return the meat to the soup. When you reheat the soup you can add carrots, potatoes and other vegetables as desired, cooking them until tender. Some people like to add some red wine, port or sherry to this soup shortly before serving.
