The pictures simply cannot do this soup justice. I know it looks rather unappealing, but I promise you it tastes amazing. Sausage and sweet potato is becoming one of my favorite combinations. I love the savory taste of the sausage, combined with the sweet flavor of the sweet potatoes. This is a great soup to make ahead of time and freeze for later. I recommend reheating it on the stove top.

I made this recipe but doubled it because I’m meal prepping for two, and we each wanted to eat two cups of this instead of one as the suggested serving size. I substituted kale for the spinach because that’s what I had in the fridge already, and use pork sausage because it was on sale for 25 cents per pound at my local grocery store (I know CRAZY)! I also substituted baby bellas for the Cremini. Anyway, the soup turned out amazing! I love the sweet and spicy paring. I will definitely be making this again! It was inexpensive, filling, and totally low calorie! Thank you for posting this!

Oh my yes. I give this the highest marks for everything. Yum City! I didn’t get started early enough to do the slow cooker. No worries. 6 hours in a slow cooker equals 1.5 hours in a dutch oven at 325 degrees. Perfect. We did shred a little Asiago on top. I did a white sweet potato because that is what I had. Kind of a Zuppa Tuscona. Really great. Thanks for the recipe.
Karen says
Can you freeze this soup? I was wondering if the sweet potatoes would get mushy. Sounds yummy!
Michelle says
Could I cook this on high for a shorter time period?

I’m in love.
I made this to take for lunch for my work week. I used kale instead of spinach (BC I think kale holds its texture better) and Chorizo BC it was on sale.
This is an insta-favorite! (And doesn’t smell up the work lunch room when reheating! )
