How to Make Tripe Soup

  1. Ask your butcher for approximately 1 pound of pre-cleaned and bleached tripe.
  2. Rinse the tripe thoroughly under hot water three times.
  3. During the final rinse, soak the tripe in a bowl of water for 10 minutes with 3 tablespoons of white vinegar to further deodorize.
  4. While the tripe soaks, finely chop the following vegetables:
  5. - 1 large onion, chopped
  6. - 2 carrots, chopped
  7. - 2 celery stalks, chopped
  8. - 4 cloves garlic, minced
  9. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the tripe over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned.
  10. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
  11. Add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Pour in enough cold water to completely cover the tripe and vegetables.
  13. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the tripe is incredibly tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  14. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.
  15. Serve your steaming hot Zuppa di Trippa! Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy with crusty bread or polenta wedges, if desired.
