Theres nothing better than a bowl of Oxtail Soup to help cope with the changing seasons. This hearty soup is reminiscent of when of when my Mother would make it in big batches for neighbors and family members to enjoy. It was the first time I had tasted barley which she always added to the soup to give it a unique flavor.

Oxtail, which nowadays is actually a culinary term for the tail of a beef animal, is a gelatinous meat which is slow cooked and is used primarily for soups and stews. When combined with the rich nut-like flavor of barley it creates a bold full bodied soup which is quit different than most soups.

Barley is a cereal grain which has a chewy, pasta-like consistency. It is mainly used in making beer, whisky and breads but it is exceptionally good in this Oxtail and Barley Soup recipe.
