BUFFALO OX-BONE SOUP

This soup takes time, but it is time well spent. It is the kind of food you eat and say “I could eat this every day”.  For preparing, you will want a larger pot as you simmer at a higher heat. This will help keep liquids in the pot. You will also want a heavy lid to keep the steam from escaping. (Serves 8)
