Clean, peel, and chop the onion, leek, carrot, and celery root. Set them aside.
Over high heat in a large pot, heat the oil. Add the oxtail and brown on all sides. Remove the oxtail.
Lower the heat to medium and add the onions and leeks. Sautee until soft and translucent. Add the carrot and celery and sauté for a few minutes.
Return the browned oxtail to the pot, add the bouillon, wine, tomato paste, and spices.
Bring to a boil and then turn the heat to low. Simmer over low heat for 4-5 hours in a pot on the stove or until the meat is tender and falling off the bones.
Season with vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

you can also make this in a pressure cooker or instant pot in about 45-55 mins
to make the meat even more tender, you can marinate the oxtail in buttermilk overnight in the refrigerator
this oxtail soup will taste even better the next day!
