Tips

I usually cooked the meat one day ahead of making soup, since it's an all day cooking process


Directions

Wash oxtails

In extra large pot, add oxtails and fill up with water, leaving enough room to boil w/o splash over

Boil for at least 3 1/2 hours or until meat begins to separate from bones, making sure to replenish water as it boils down, (oxtails make a good beef stock)

Peel and chop carrots

After meat has completely cooked removed from stock
add all vegetables and barley, cooking for at least 30 minutes,

Next add entire can of tomato paste, stirring until completely dissolved, next add entire can of diced tomatoes and ragu sauce, let cook on low to medium low heat for another 2 hours

This soup is wonderful with a side of cornbread
