Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef tripe (cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 1 stalk Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Potato (peeled and diced)
- 1.5 liters Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the beef tripe thoroughly under cold running water to remove any impurities. Bring a pot of water to boil, add the tripe, and blanch it for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large soup pot, heat a small amount of water (about 2 tablespoons) over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, stirring occasionally to soften the vegetables without using any oil.
Step 3
Stir in the diced potato, and then return the blanched tripe to the pot.
Step 4
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 70-90 minutes, or until the tripe is tender and the flavors are well blended.
Step 6
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Step 7
Ladle the soup into serving bowls and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh parsley.
Step 8
Serve hot with a side of crusty bread or a light salad, if desired.
