Spicy Red Bean Soup image

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.

This soup is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chipotle peppers if you don't like spicy food.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover red beans. I had some leftover beans from a pot of chili and this soup was the perfect way to use them up.
