Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Make the soup: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tripe, reduce the heat, and simmer, periodically skimming off fat, for 2 hours; drain. Fill the pot with fresh water, and simmer tripe for 2 more hours; drain again.
  3. 3 Pour 1 gallon water over tripe in the pot; bring to a boil. Stir in onion, garlic, red pepper, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange árbol chiles on a baking sheet. Broil chiles in the preheated oven just until they begin to scorch, about 2 minutes.
  5. 5 Remove from the oven, slit lengthwise, and remove seeds.
  6. 6 Place árbol chiles into a blender or food processor with japones chiles; blend until minced.
  7. 7 Stir chile mixture into the pot and continue cooking over low heat for 2 hours.
  8. 8 Mix hominy into the pot and cook for 1 hour. Serve soup with cilantro, onion, and lime wedges.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place tripe into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let sit until tripe has cooled slightly, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse; cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
  2. 2 Cook bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add leeks, bell peppers, parsley, onion, and celery; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in stock, pepper, marjoram, cloves, thyme, pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Add tripe and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tripe is very tender, about 2 hours. Add potato and carrots; cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
  3. 3 When the soup is almost ready, melt butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir roux into soup and cook, stirring constantly, until soup thickens a bit. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Discard bay leaf.
