Canned oxtail soup is a prepared soup made with oxtail, the tail of cattle. It consists mainly of water and provides carbohydrate, protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 5.1g of carbohydrate, 2.4g of protein and 1.7g of fat. Its salt content is 0.55g per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while carbohydrate and fat provide energy. Salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as the amount consumed depends on how much soup is eaten. Recipes and nutrient content can vary between brands, so product labels may differ from these figures. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
