I`m going with Alton Brown`s beef broth! (I`m not that into squash...) :-)

I`m not into Alton Brown at all - the guy REALLY annoys me!

Excellent! :-D I believe Alton Brown is the Messiah, come to set us free from the drudgery of a life without interesting food!

I suggest shotguns at 4 paces, tomorrow at dawn!

Wait......I`m not a morning person...make that about 3:30 in the afternoon!

I really like Alton Brown`s approach. Nobody else does what he does.

Not only can he make the broth, but he can tell you the history of broth, all about the interesting tools required to remove the feathers from a chicken and then the best ladle to draw the simmering stock and how to transfer it to the bowl. It`s awesome! He`s responsible for how I cut the Thanksgiving Turkey! Seriously!

He`s oddly interesting and an unlikely TV image but there he is!  Jeff.....you aren`t jealous of Alton are you?

Ok...you guys are hilarious

Both soups sound yummy to me........(other than the oxtail pieces,,,,,yikes)  How `bout a good chili recipe. I like mine, but wouldn`t mind an alternative. I don`t go thru that much trouble with the soup.

Hey, it`s past my bedtime and I`m on the pc....i had to put my 2cents in ok..:-)

Nope,  he just annoys me - even more than Emeril.   I can`t watch either one of their shows.

As a long-term member of the Anti-Oxtail Defamation League (AODL, pronounced either "addle" or "oddle"), I have to speak up on the behalf of the benighted oxtails. They`re like...just beef! Very rich beef, but beef nonetheless.

The reason for using half oxtails and half beef shanks is that the oxtails provide the collagen making for the "fullness" of the soup, and the shanks provide the marrow for "depth."

People think oxtails are awful because they look weird, and everyone imagines cooking them for 20 minutes and serving them whole. Instead, braise them in mushroom soup thinned with wine, at around 275-degrees for 4 hours. Meat falls off the bone, and they`re fannnnnn TAStic!

Besides, where would the poor ox be without a tail? How could it wag when you came home, showing you how happy it is, and that it wants to play?

I too am a Alton Brown fan. I like his  baked french onion soup recipe. It is really good. The book below should be excellent because after all I am only here for the food.
