Sop Buntut is a traditional Indonesian oxtail soup known for its rich, hearty, and comforting flavors. The dish features tender oxtail pieces that are simmered for hours in a fragrant broth infused with a blend of spices such as nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, and shallots. The slow cooking process makes the meat tender and flavorful, while the broth develops a deep, savory taste.

Vegetables like carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and celery are often added to the soup, enhancing its nutritional value and texture. Sop Buntut is typically served hot, accompanied by steamed rice and sometimes a side of sambal (spicy chili paste) or lime wedges for extra zest.

This soup is a popular comfort food in Indonesia, enjoyed especially during cooler weather or special family gatherings.
