The key to making tripe soup is a well-cooked tripe. The cooking time depends on several things. First of all, it depends on whether the tripe is beef, pork or lamb.
Whether the soup will be ready in an hour or you will have to wait for the tripe to boil for two hours or more depends on how young or old the animal is. The tripe of an older animal needs more time to cook.
The cooking time for the tripe also depends on whether you are cooking it in a regular pot or in a pressure cooker.
Beef tripe is boiled for 2-2.5 hours in an ordinary pot and it takes about 1.5 hours in a pressure cooker, to fully cook it. Pork tripe is much more tender and needs less time to cook.
