Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 medium onions, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams; about 2 large), peeled, quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 pound white-skinned potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
6 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 9-ounce bag fresh kale (or add more or less, depending on your taste)
Sausage (we used fresh chicken sausage that we had to cook before putting in the soup, but you can use any kind. The original recipe called for chorizo, but I really think any kind of sausage or kielbasa would work)

Directions: |
Directions:Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat.
Add sausage; cook until brown, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Transfer sausage to paper towels to drain. (I poured off some of the oil in the pot at this point, but the original recipe doesn’t think this is needed.)
Add onions and garlic to pot and cook until translucent, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
Add all potatoes and cook until beginning to soften, stirring often, about 12 minutes.
Add broth; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
Using potato masher, mash some of potatoes in pot.
Add browned sausage to soup. Stir in kale and simmer about 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Divide among bowls and serve.
Depending on the flavor of your sausage, you could always add smoked paprika to this recipe. We love that! |

Notes: We eat a lot of soup. This one is nice because the potatoes make the broth really thick and delicious. Eating this with some homemade bread would be the absolute best!
