Oksehalesuppe

Oksehalesuppe is a traditional oxtail soup. Although there are some variations, the soup is usually made with a combination of oxtails, margarine, bacon, celery, parsnip, carrots, tomatoes, onions, leeks, soy sauce, salt, peppercorns, marjoram, parsley, and cayenne pepper. The oxtails and bacon are browned in margarine and mixed with salt, peppercorns, marjoram, leeks, parsnips, and celery. The ingredients are covered with water and simmered for about 3 hours. Once strained, the broth is placed back in the pot and mixed with the carrots, celery, parsnip, leeks, meat, soy sauce, tomatoes, and cayenne pepper. The soup is sprinkled with chopped parsley before serving, and it's recommended to enjoy it with Jarlsberg cheese and a salad on the side.
