What is Beef Tripe Soup?
Beef Tripe Soup is a traditional Turkish soup made by simmering cleaned beef tripe, often with pieces of beef, in a savoury broth. Recipes vary: garlic, lemon or vinegar may be added, and some cooks give the broth a little body.
The tripe becomes tender while keeping a pleasantly chewy texture, and the hot, savoury broth is commonly served with garlic vinegar and lemon on the side. In Turkey, it is a familiar choice at soup shops, including late at night; elsewhere, it makes a warming meal or starter. It is low in carbohydrates and provides protein, with 6.5 g per 100 g.
