İşkembe Çorbası (Turkish beef tripe soup)

İşkembe=Tripe. Çorbası= Soup. So, İşkembe Çorbası is soup with tripe as main ingredient and flavor seasoned with vinegar and lemon juice.
It's one from many kinds of other popular soup in Turkey beside Tarhana Çorba, Mercimek Çorba, ezo gelin Çorba , and many other Çorba (soup)...
Frankly, it's my 1st trial cooking this soup, and my 1st customer of course... my husband @(*_*)@ 

And while asked me to refill his 3rd bowl that 1st customer said.... " Çok Güzel Olmus!" ...(in English-more and less means "very good")
Well....If I can make it, I'm sure you can do it too... d(*_*)b

Soto Babat Sapi / Indonesian Beef Tripe Soup

Sotosroto or coto is a common dish to be found in various regional variations of Indonesian cuisine. It is a traditional soup mainly composed of broth, meat and vegetables. There is no clear definition what makes a soto, but normally all traditional soups are called soto, while western/foreign influenced soups are called sop. It might be considered Indonesia's national dish, served as it is from Sumatra to Papua and in enough variations to fill an entire cookbook. Soto is omnipresent in Indonesia, available in many an open-air eatery and on seemingly every other street corner.
