• 3 lbs tripe
• 2 tablespoons maggi seasoning (optional)

Recipe

• 1 wash tripe, cut in 1/3in strips, no more than 3in long.

• 3 add tripe, and 6-7c water, enough to cover.
• 4 add maggi (optional), salt, marjoram, nutmeg, paprika, bay leaf, pepper and allspice. i reccomend putting your whole pepper and allspice in either a tea ball, or in cheese cloth, otherwise this soup gets difficult to eat when you have to pick out the spices.
• 5 cook for 1-2 hours until trip is tender, not soft and mushy.
