Soup that's twice what for Manuel? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bisque

'soup' is the definition.
(I know that bisque is a type of Fish soup)

'twice what for manuel?' is the wordplay.
'twice' becomes 'bis' (musical direction meaning to play a second time).
'what for manuel?' becomes 'que' ('what' in Spanish - Manuel is a Spanish name).
'bis'+'que'='BISQUE'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for bisque that I've seen before include "Rich soup made from shellfish" , "Rich shellfish soup - lobster is nice" , "Rich soup as made from lobster" , "Thick shellfish soup" , "golf handicap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
