Collagen Packed – Ox Tail Soup

AKA: The Botox-But-Make-It-Broth Special

Ingredients (aka the cast of characters)
Oxtail — the collagen queen
2 carrots (the responsible ones)
2 tomatoes (for that natural blush)
2 potatoes (comfort carbs, no apologies)
1 onion (will make you cry but worth it)
1 beef stock cube
2 bay leaves
A pinch of salt (be humble but seasoned)

How to Make It (the lazy but legendary method):
Brown your oxtail like it owes you money.
Throw everything in a pot — oxtail, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, onion, stock cube, bay leaves, salt.
Add enough water to cover, bring to a boil, then simmer like you’re on low power mode for 2–3 hours.
When the oxtail is fall-off-the-bone and the soup is giving “beauty elixir”, it’s ready.
Serve hot and pretend you’re in a Korean drama healing scene.

✨ 
Why This Soup Is Basically a Beauty Treatment You Can Eat:
Oxtail = Collagen factory. It helps regenerate collagen, plump up your skin, and bring back that “I slept 9 hours” look.
Great for joints & muscles. Think of it as oiling your internal hinges so you stop sounding like an old wooden chair.
Glowy skin bonus: All that slow-cooked goodness nourishes from the inside out. Eat soup, look expensive.
❄️
Winter Superpowers:
Packed with fat + collagen — the body’s natural central heating system.
Keeps you warm from the inside like a cosy blanket… except you can eat it.
Helps boost your immunity, energy, and overall winter survival vibes.
Basically the soup version of a hot water bottle, but prettier.
