How to Make Bean Sausage And Sweet Potato Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add the onion and carrots to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in the cooked sausage and kidney beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
