Wash the tripe thoroughly under cold running water to ensure it is clean. Optionally, soak it in water with a little vinegar for 15 minutes, then rinse well.
Cut the tripe into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm in size) using a sharp knife.
In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sautΓ© for 5 minutes or until translucent.
Add the minced garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the tripe to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the tripe to absorb the flavors.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and water. Add the bay leaves, smoked paprika, turmeric, thyme, and white pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, covered, for about 2 hours. Stir occasionally and skim off any foam that rises to the top.
After 2 hours, check that the tripe is tender and the soup has reached your desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with a wedge of lemon on the side for an added zest.
