For a richer flavor, brown the oxtail in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency. If you prefer a thinner soup, add more water. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as potatoes or parsnips, to customize the borscht to your liking. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a swirl of plain yogurt for added creaminess. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving can brighten the flavors. This soup tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld.
