- Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle oxtails with salt and pepper. Add in oxtails to pot and brown on all sides, about 20 min. Add in 10 c. water, beef broth and 2 c. wine. Bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover partially and simmer gently till meat is tender, stirring occasionally, about 3 hrs.
- Using tongs, transfer oxtails to large bowl. Carefully pour cooking liquid into 8-c. glass measuring c. or possibly large bowl. Freeze cooking liquid till fat separates from liquid, about 45 min. Spoon fat from top of cooking liquid. Remove meat from oxtails; throw away bones. Add in meat to cooking liquid. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
- Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in same pot over medium-high heat. Add in onions, leeks, carrots, parsnips, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Saute/fry till vegetables are golden brown, about 12 min. Add in cooking liquid with meat and remaining 1 c. wine. Bring to boil. Add in potatoes. Cover and simmer till potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 min.
- Add in parsley to soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls.

- Comments: During hard times, luxury cuts like steaks and chops give way to humbler ones. None are humbler than the oxtail, and all across the country, depression-era cooks made much of it, frequently in soup. Even in these days, when humble cuts have become restaurant menu stars, soup is still a good way to go with oxtails. Simmering them slowly with garlic and vegetables in red wine yields a rich broth and tender, succulent meat, making a lavish feast for us all.
