Rinse the tripe thoroughly under cold water. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the tripe. Boil for 10 minutes to remove impurities, then drain and rinse again. Cut the tripe into bite-sized strips and set aside.
Dice the onion, carrots, celery, and potato into small, even pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, and oregano. Cook for another minute to release the flavors.
Pour in the unsalted chicken stock or water and add the bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
Add the tripe, carrots, celery, and potato to the pot. Stir well. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 90-120 minutes, or until the tripe is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the apple cider vinegar, fresh parsley, and cilantro. Season with ground black pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional parsley or cilantro if desired.
