Instructions
- Rinse the tripe in cold water, then cut it into strips 2 cm wide. Peel the onion, carrots and parsley root.
- Place the tripe in a large saucepan with the stock, the whole onion, the carrots, the parsley root and the bay leaf, then bring to the boil.
- Skim the surface, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour 45 minutes, until the tripe is very tender.
- Remove the onion, root and bay leaf. Dissolve the flour in a little cold stock to avoid lumps, then pour the mixture into the soup, stirring.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the lemon juice and vinegar, then gradually add a ladle of hot stock while whisking.
- Pour this mixture into the pan off the heat, stirring constantly so the egg does not scramble. Add the crème fraîche and salt.
- Crush the garlic, add it to the soup and let it rest for 2 minutes without boiling. Serve very hot with pepper and sliced chilli.
Variations and tips
Lamb version. Replace the beef tripe with 600 g of lamb tripe and reduce the cooking time by 15 minutes.
