oxtail soup

Meaty caudal stew

Oxtail soup is a hearty soup made from the tail of cattle, simmered slowly until the meat becomes tender and falls from the bone.

The gelatin-rich tail produces a thick, flavorful broth.

Though once considered humble fare using an inexpensive cut, oxtail soup now appears on upscale menus: The restaurant's oxtail soup was rich and deeply satisfying.
