Spicy Red Bean Soup

By: Scotty Carreiro

"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."

2 1/2 cups ketchup
8 cups water
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
