Instructions
- In a soup pot, cook the sausage meat over medium-high heat, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along, for 5-6 minutes.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pot and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. If there's a lot of excess fat, spoon most of it out.
- Stir in the broth, water, red bell pepper, celery, and sweet potatoes. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil.
- Once it's boiling, reduce the heat so it's simmering, and cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes have softened.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
Notes
- Anything in the 16 oz/1 pound ballpark will work for the sausage. Here in Canada, I buy a 5-pack of Johnsonville's mild Italian sausages that's 500g/17.6 oz and take the meat out of the casings.
- I used 3 smallish sweet potatoes. Since sweet potato sizes vary so much and are so subjective, it's easiest to just use the scales at the grocery store and weigh them.
