What's Cooking?

The kitchen smells heavenly.  I made vegetable beef soup, think it's the first time I've done that.  It's for lunch tomorrow and I went a head and cooked it today because I was going to be in the kitchen all morning anyway.  I'm cooking Rabo de Toro (Ox-tail soup), a Spanish dish Mac always has when we go to Spain and we decided to see if we could cook it at home.  Picked up some ox-tails at the commissary Sunday, found a recipe online and started work on it this morning.  It involved searing the ox-tails, cooking together onions, garlic, tomatoes, red peppers, ginger, beef stock and red wine.  Then letting it simmer for 3 hours.  The broth tastes delicious, I'm going to serve it over mashed potatoes, can't wait.

    This sounds delicious! My grandmother used to make an ox-tail soup, but no tomatoes were in it. I'll be making soup tomorrow. It is that time of year, for sure.

    Ooh I like the sound and the look of that dish.
    How are you? Not been over for a while so I think I'll scroll down, while I'm here, and see what you've been up to!

    I looooove having soup cooking while I'm at home. I mostly use the crockpot, so I'm not doing much with the soup, but it's just really nice to know it's in progress. :)
