My oxtail soup ended up tasting bitter, and I'm not sure why. Has anyone else had this issue? What could be causing this and how can I fix it for next time? Help, please!

Sorry to hear about the bitter taste! 
Sometimes, bitterness can come from overcooking the oxtail or using too much of certain spices like bay leaves. It might also be from the vegetables or herbs you added, especially if they were cooked too long or at too high a heat. To fix it next time, try reducing the cooking time, and make sure to taste as you go to balance the flavors.

Oh no, thatās a bummer! Sometimes bitterness comes from overcooking the bones or adding too much of certain herbs, like thyme. Try adjusting the cooking time next time, and maybe skip any burnt bits. Hope that helps!
