Heinz Oxtail Soup

Nothing like it used to be, thin watery and a very lousy taste. You can say NO BEEF in it because you need a magnifying glass to find any and full of pieces of carrots that have nothing to do with the soup except to rip people off. DO NOT BUY THIS SOUP OR ANY OTHER FROM HEINZ.

How can a soup with 1% oxtail, 4% beef be described as Oxtail Soup?

Tastes more like a peppery, watery tomato soup.The meat in it, if you can find it, is not much bigger than a grain of salt.

What has happened to this once-great brand?

Why do heinze oxtail soup have so much carrots in it

I used to love this soup and when you emptied the can it came out thick.Now it's like emptying a can of water into the pan.Taste is acidic now,emptied the other cans down sink.last time I'm buying this

As the title suggests once a thick wholesome soup is now thin and watery.. I noticed this recently (March 23). What's going on, this is premium brand and isn't cheap. While it tastes similar it dripps off the spoon in an unsatisfing way, I'm not going to be buying any more, I'll be trying other brands to see if I can find one I like.At the moment I can only give it 3 stars when one was 5

I was craving Heinz Oxtail Soup and bought myself a tin. The first thing I noticed was that it was bright orange almost the colour of Heinz tomato soup. Where was the dark brown beefy soup that I needed to eat? The next thing was the consistency it was very watery and resembled dishwater. It looked and tasted very unappetising. The taste was mainly tomato not surprising due to the colour and not at all beefy. There was large chunks of carrot in it which was not expected and a very unpleasant aftertaste.Save your money and don’t buy this soup it’s horrible. Please bring back the original recipe which actually tasted of oxtail as this soup is definitely NOT what it says on the tin! I would have actually gave it NO stars as it is that horrible.

I haven’t bought any Oxtail Soup for years simply because

I usually make my own, I just fancied some with bread and butter and a dash of cream stirred in. What a disappointment, It tasted just like tomato soup and I don’t like tomato soup. I had to add a good dash of salt and pepper to make it taste less sweet and insipid. At 95p for a can in Tesco I won’t buy another in a hurry. Campbell’s condensed used to do a lovely one but I’ve not spotted any lately.

I have just tasted this soup for the first time in a few years. It is nothing like the original oxtail soup. This is more like a tomato soup with a few bits of beef thrown in.

I question how a soup can be labelled oxtail when it is made with a far larger percentage of tomatoes to beef. 18% tomatoes with only 4% beef and of that only 1% oxtails does not constitute oxtail soup in my opinion. I will not recommend this soup and probably won’t buy again until the recipe is changed back to the original.

The new Heinz Oxtail soup recipe is in no way shape or form comparible to original recipe. I am old enough to know. The current version tastes of fermented onions with black pepper. There is no depth, no oxtail meat no complex stock flavour. It was a vaccuous brown viscose liquid with nothing to say to your taste buds other than- fooled you! What a shame.

There is integrity in creating stock/broth with actual oxtail. The flavour achieved from these bones & meat are unique. Hence the love of original recipe.

Go back to what you know....not what you think you know. You have original recipes, they are yours. Use them. Please.

I was looking forward to the oxtail soup which I had got in for the "lockdown" and set up my special brunch with toast and butter.

How disappointing to find its nothing like the traditional type.

Nowhere on the tin does it say beware, we have changed the recipe and you will find it it's nowhere near as nice as it was.

What a swizz! I won't be buying this stuff again. I got some Mulligatawny too recently which I haven't opened yet. I wonder if this is similarly debased .
