What each ingredient does

Ox-rump
Provides the meat and rich flavour that form the body of the soup.

The step that matters

Simmer gently on a slow fire. Gentle heat lets collagen in the meat break down slowly into a tender texture and savoury broth, while high heat can scorch the bottom of the pot and make the soup taste burnt.
