My 1st time cooking this recipe was for mothers’ day. I have prepared it every sunday since. Excellent recipe. Family loved it. I use beef broth instead of water and boiled the ox tails 45 minutes before adding other ingredients. I will fry and deglaze with the red wine today like another review stated.

yummy!
Ruben Hartman
Very delicious. I added some jalapenos instead of hot sauce. But other than that very good!
Patrick Fox
pretty decent, easy dish. Made minor changes: Used one 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes rather then whole and sauce. and added garlic about a 1tsp.

I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 only because the flavor was fine but it was definitely not potato soup or even a version of it. It tasted more like a beef stew. I do not recommend this at all.

This was terrific

I found this recipe thinking it would be something new to try. I kind of tweeked the recipe a little and added a litttle more spices. My 13 year old said it tasted like chili if you don’t know how to make it. Really bummed!
April Cox
Surprisingly good considering the simple ingredients. I didn’t have any hot sauce and so substituted 1/3 tsp cayenne pepper. Mashed some of the potatoes towards the end of cooking. Very comforting in cold weather!

This is good–much better than one would think. I like the quickness of it and the simple seasoning. DS ate it with hot sauce so that’s good. DH thought lamb would be better. I think adding kale would be terrific.
Kimberly Petty
Okay soup. Could use more hot sauce. Also, I could add more potatoes.

I’m going to rate this even though I probably changed it enough to qualify for another soup:) It was a nice base recipe though and I followed the technique so… the only changes I made were to use a quart of beef broth instead of water, and I added chopped kale. I think the kale really made it for me, adding some additional nutrition color and texture. Without it, I’m not I would have liked this so much. I also added about 1 tsp. of dried oregano.

Great basic recipe, but it needs a little additional seasoning. I added some garlic and onion powders as well as a little beef bouillon. Next time I’ll add more veggies. Not bad at all. Thanks!

We loved it. I’ll probably put a few less potatoes in next time, but it will definitely be made again in our house! My husband said it reminded him of his grandmother’s “pigs in a blanket” (a.k.a. Polish stuffed cabbage)
Raymond Smith
We took over reviewers suggestions and increased the hot sauce because we like spicy foods. Unfortunately all we tasted was the hot sauce.
Roberto Richards
Really liked this soup, but made some additions. Added sliced carrots and some diced green pepper. Also added little orzo about 12 minutes before I wanted it to be ready. I used leftover pizza sauce, diced tomatoes, and water for the base. Served with a handful of shredded cheddar on top. Delicious!
Julie Wright
I really enjoyed this. It has ingredients that I usually have on hand so it’s super easy to throw together on those crazy day. Loved the spicy kick. I gave it 4 stars because my husband wasn’t as crazy about it as I was, but he still thought it was good.
Charles Beard
This recipe is very unique and healthy , i recomend it for anybody thats a soup freak! lol
Alexandria Thompson
This soup was GREAT! Easy to make and very yummy. I followed the recipe except adding a little extra hot sauce.
Debbie Hernandez PhD
Great stew/soup! It’s really more like a thick vegetable beef soup than a potato soup, but the taste is fantastic! I prepared it just as stated and mashed the potatoes a bit in the saucepan towards the end. The longer it cooks, the thicker it gets. Our house smells wonderful!
Courtney Cook
This is good soup. It does have a little bit of a kick, but if you’re used to spicy foods then you’re probably going to want to add more hot sauce so you can really feel the heat. I like that fact that this recipe uses common ingredients that are in nearly everyone’s pantry.
Adam Harris
This was a great dairy-free potato soup for us!
