Dried oxtail soup is a powdered soup mix intended to be prepared with water. The figures here describe the dry mix rather than the prepared soup. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 51g per 100g, alongside 18g of protein and 11g of fat. The dry mix also contains 13g of salt per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Adding water reduces the salt concentration but does not remove salt from the mix used. The composition of prepared soup depends on the dilution and any added ingredients.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 packets, 5 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: MW4, 1978. Values reviewed for Miscellaneous Foods Supplement, 1994.
