Note

Tripe is a key ingredient in traditional Philadelphia Pepper Pot. Ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and pre-cooked before adding to the soup for best texture.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the simmering broth.

You can substitute the tripe with shredded beef or chicken if tripe is unavailable, though the texture will differ.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if the soup has thickened.

Adjust salt carefully, as bouillon cubes and canned tomatoes already contain significant sodium.
