Ochsenschwanzsuppe (Oxtail Soup)
A rustic and hearty German soup, accented with Madeira. Oxtails were once taken from oxen, but today's variety refers to beef or veal tail. This bony, tough cut requires long, slow braising, yielding a rich stock and satiny, pleasantly chewy texture. Serve with bread and beer.

1 tablespoon(s) Butter
1 tablespoon(s) Flour
1/4 cup(s) Madeira


Instructions:
1. Brown oxtails and onions in oil in a heavy 4-quart pot. Add water, salt, and peppercorns. Simmer uncovered for about 2 hours. Cover and continue simmering for an additional 3 hours.
2. Add the parsley stems, carrots, bay leaf, tomatoes, and thyme; continue simmering for 30 more minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

5. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, and stir in madeira just before serving.
