Oxtail Soup w/ Bone Marrow

I can’t tell you how beneficial this soup is for you, your body and your health. Filled with calcium, B12, iron and B6. The Bone Marrow will optimize your hair, skin and nail growth and help with your overall gut health. Bone Marrow is full of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and other trace minerals which are too many to list. These too combined will provide you with better joint health, improves your immune system (especially things like the flu) and because Oxtail is gelatinous, it promotes good gut bacteria which helps with inflammation and detoxification.

If you want to make this soup, first things first, you might need to pre-order Oxtail from your butcher or supermarket. If you live near an Uncle Giuseppe’s, they most likely have it on the shelf. Oxtail is relatively cheap and either comes in long shanks or in cut up in individual pieces. I prefer them already cut up since the work is done for me. If you get them long, cut up about 5-8 pieces. Store the rest in the freezer for later use. Get a package of bone marrow, one that has more meat than the rest. When you get home trim off the fat from the Oxtail, it’s ok if you can’t get most of it. This adds a lot of flavor anyways. Now you can being making your soup…
