Hi Jill, lots of ways to make them but they work well IMHO with a long
slow simmer. Oddly, a crockpot doesnt work as well this time and not
sure why. Perhaps too high a simmer?

I am more familar with them served in a clear (or mostly clear) deep
colored broth. If there were vegetables, they were ones that kept a
distinct shape (carrots, leek shreds, might be some late added waxy
potato bits or last minute added frozen or fresh peapods or peas).

When I make them at home, I try to replicate that. Area encoutered may
not mean authentic to place but was Singapore and later, Brisbane.

I googled and clear oxtail soup seems fairly common. Germany and
Philipennes come up real often.
