Advantages: warming, satisfying

Disadvantages: none

Heinz foods were founded in 1868 by a 25 year old American Henry John Heinz his first product was horseradish sauce. Now Heinz is one of the leaders in packaged food stuffs. In 1930 they started making oxtail soup.

One of Heinz soups I like is oxtail soups. If you have a coven of young spooks and spookesses I would recommend this soup to warm them up after a chilly Halloween night of spooking. You may not really brew real bones for this soup or add any eyes of newt but oxes tails have been stewed a long time to make this hearty soup .You can buy this soup at Tesco for 59p for 400g. This soup is also available at a lot of other food stores too.
So get your witches and warlocks around the cauldron bubbling around the fire and tell a few ghostly tales.

You could get a few of your witches to help you open the can. It is an easy open can with a ring pull.
I would recommend you use 2 cans for 3 hungry spooks as 1 can is too much and 1 can between 2 not really quite enough.

Pour the rich dark brown soup into your cauldron /saucepan – this soup could always be cooked in the microwave too. Heat the soup for a few minutes gently stirring occasionally. Do not let the soup boil over or over cook it or your wizards will not get the full flavour of the bones. In the microwave only cook for 3 minutes giving it a stir midway through the cooking time. Check the oxtail soup is hot before serving also if you are serving little evil spirits makes sure it cools a little before they burn their forked tongues. (Microwaving it gets very hot.)

Now spoon or pour a serving into each spooks bowl and give them a bowl. This soup will soon get into their tummies and warm them up after a night of evil doings.
This soup will taste quite meaty and quite strong; it is a rich hearty soup. Some of the dainty witches may not like it so offer them some blood tomato soup instead.
This soup is a fairly smooth soup but has a few small fibres of ox flesh in it occasionally

The ingredients are oxtail, tomato puree beef, wheat flour, corn flour, carrots, onion powder, yeast extracts, red wine, salt herbs, garlic salt, and plain caramel. These all blended together make a really satisfying soup.
Serve this soup with some crusty bread or some toast.
If you wished to make this soup with extras add some vermicelli or some spaghetti, a few pasta snail shells. Tell the little spooks you have added some snails and worms. I am sure that after the initial each and oohhs they will delight in eating the added extras with the soup gives it more body I always think

Well the haunting hour is over all the little spooks are full of soup and asleep now the elder witches and warlocks can sit down to a well deserved rest and a bowl of oxtail soup , add a shot of sherry or port. While you sit down beside the fire at the end of the day.

This soup is ideal for heating then putting in a flask for work/school lunches in the winter. I like to take a flask of soup with me when I am on a conservation work party task. This soup is available in a single mug sized portion 290g. If however you open a large can and do not use it all it will keep in the fridge for a couple of days

This soup will not make you fat it has 37cal per 100g. It does contain wheat and gluten though so a no no for delicate spooks with allergies. It is dairy free though. Thanks for reading another of my Heinz soup reviews.

Summary: A good soup for a haunting night
