Instructions
1-How to Prepare the Perfect Sweet Potato Sausage Soup: Step-by-Step Guide: First, get everything ready by chopping and measuring your ingredients. This step keeps the process smooth for your sweet potato sausage soup. Start by browning the sausage in a pot to build rich flavors.
2-Brown the Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook it until it’s crumbly and fully done, which takes about 6-8 minutes. Set aside half for later to keep that crunchy texture on top.
3-SautΓ© the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil and sautΓ© the diced onion for about 5 minutes until it’s soft. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. This builds a flavorful base for your sweet potato sausage soup.
4-Simmer the Soup: Pour in the vegetable broth, along with sage leaves, sliced carrots, diced sweet potato, smoked paprika, drained white beans, and half the sausage. Bring it to a simmer and cook covered for 15 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender. For more creaminess, you can mash some potatoes in the pot.
5-Add Finishing Touches: Stir in the coconut milk and chopped kale, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the kale wilts. Remove the sage leaves and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm with the reserved sausage on top for extra flavor. For a foil pack sausage recipe variation, check out our related guide.
