AUTHENTIC PEPPER POT SOUP



Authentic Pepper Pot Soup image

The authentic version uses tripe. I have never cared for tripe, myself, and I have always substituted chicken, beef, turkey, sausage or even ham instead.

Time 3h

Yield 11

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound honeycomb tripe
5 slices bacon, diced
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped celery
3 leeks, chopped
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
2 green bell peppers, diced
2 quarts beef stock
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large potato, peeled and diced
2 large carrots, diced
4 tablespoons margarine
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Place the tripe or other meat that you have selected to use in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and turn off the heat. Allow the meat to cool a bit in the water, and then drain and rinse. Cut into 1/4 inch pieces.
  • In a large heavy kettle, saute the bacon until clear. Add the onion, celery, leeks, parsley, and green peppers; saute until tender.
  • Stir in beef stock, thyme, marjoram, cloves, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and black pepper. Bring the kettle to a boil, and turn down to a simmer. Cook, covered, until meat is very tender, about 2 hours.
  • Add the diced potato and carrots, and cook for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the roux by stirring the flour into the melted butter or margarine, and cooking for a moment on the stove. When the soup is done to your liking, stir in the roux. Simmer, stirring all the while, until the soup thickens a bit. Correct the seasonings.

PHILADELPHIA PEPPER POT

this is an old favorite, brought from the Quaker City. The original directions called for cooking the tripe the day before. Nowadays, the tripe could be easily cooked overnight in the slow cooker. From the Pennsylvania Dutch chapter of the United States Regional cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
