Menudo, The Ultimate Comfort Soup
Wednesday December 28, 2005
After a long night of bringing in the New Year, you will need to bring yourself a big bowl of steaming hot
Menudo. This authentic Mexican soup is well-known for easing hang-overs. It takes some time to prepare it, so make it a couple of days beforehand so you can simply warm up a bowl on January 1st.

How long can you refrigerate menudo before discarding it.
How much does your recipe make, Chelsie?
Menudo can stay good for up to 2 1/2 weeks –
Tip: I use stew meat instead of pigs feet if company has a sour mind to the feet.
And do not skip off the top of the broth juices, it adds deeper flavors.
Campells Soup Co. makes a soup called”Pepper Pot”. After a while I could’nt find it any more, but I was assured they still made it. It’s been around for fifty years at least. One day in a Mexican restaurant in AZ. I smelled this really familiar aroma. It was Menudo. I ordered a bowl and it was pretty much the same although they use really big pieces of tripe. It was still really good. Yum
