Oxtail Soup (Soup Ekor)

A good hearty bowl of soup that nourishes you from the inside out is something we all crave. And, nothing beats a hearty bowl of soup that has been slow cooking for hours like-with tender meat that falls off the bone, a well-balanced blend of spices and hearty vegetables like potatoes and carrots too. The trick to a really good broth for your Sup Ekor is to really take your time when cooking it. Skim off any access scum that rises to the top so you are left with a clear and clean tasting broth. Start preparing and cooking this dish early in the day so you can enjoy it during the break fast.
