Neat queue to get soup (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oxtail

'soup' is the definition.
(oxtail soup is a kind of soup)

'neat queue' is the wordplay.
'neat' becomes 'ox' (I've seen this in other clues).
'queue' becomes 'tail' (I've seen this before).
'ox'+'tail'='OXTAIL'

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oxtail that I've seen before include "Soup ingredient" , "Part of cattle, used especially in soup" , "Cattle appendage used to make tasty soup" , "neat ending" , "Farm animal's ending" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
