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. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 onion, chopped |
6 tablespoons paprika |
2 1/2 cups ketchup |
8 cups water |
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon ground black pepper |
1 pound linguica, casings removed |
1 pound chourico - portuguese smoked pork sausage |
5 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans |
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed |
1/2 pound spaghetti |
Directions:
1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the oil and the onion. Saute for 5 minutes, or until onion is tender. Add the paprika, ketchup, water, soup mix, salt and pepper and stir well. Cut the linguica and chourico into 3 inch pieces and add to the soup.
2. In a food processor or blender, puree the beans in small batches and add to the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 to 3 hours. Add the potatoes and simmer for another hour. Break the spaghetti into 3 to 4 inch pieces, add to the pot and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until spaghetti is tender.
