Place dry kidney beans in a container and soak overnight in water completely covering the beans.

Drain beans. Rinse under cool water. Place beans in pot with just enough water to cover. Slowly simmer until the beans are tender. Remove from fire and set aside. Do not drain.

In a medium soup pot, bring water to boil. Add in chopped meat. Allow water to come back to a boil and then lower flame to a simmer. Simmer 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly to break apart clumps of meat. Drain in a colander and discard the liquid.

In a large soup pot, place oil, onion, and garlic. Sautee untill onions are wilted. Add in the chopped meat. Stir well. Add in spices, sauces, molasses, horseradish, and vinegar. Stir well to combine. Add in one cup of water and tomato puree. Stir well. Allow to simmer and cook for about 45 minutes, stirring often. Add prepared beans with liquid. Cook 4-6 more minutes to heat through, stirring occasionally. Remove from the fire and add the liquid smoke. Stir well.
