Spicy Red Bean Soup

SUBMITTED BY: Scotty Carreiro PHOTO BY: Allrecipes

"This is a hearty soup served by my grandmother at many family gatherings. It is an absolute favorite. Tastes even better the next day! It is made with linguica, which is a slim Portuguese sausage heavily flavored with garlic. Linguica can be found in Latin American markets and many supermarkets."
