January and “soup” go together! On a chilly night nothing satisfies more than a hot bowl of soup and this Sweet Potato and Sausage Soup is a great recipe for a winter warm-up!

This soup was served at a recent get-together! Oh, I  had to have the recipe! Where this soup originated, I am not sure. The mixture of the sausage flavors along with the sweet potatoes is truly a winner to my taste palate! I’m sure you’ll love it, too!

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp. olive oil

10-11 oz.  Chorizo (Mexican)  sausage (cut 1/4 ” thick) substitutes for Chorizo are: Italian sausage or chicken  Be sure the Chorizo is link and pre-cooked; not bulk!

2 medium onions

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 lbs. red skinned sweet potatoes (peel and cut crosswise 1/4 ” thick and halved)  – approx . 2 large sweet potatoes

1 lb. white skinned potatoes (peel and halved lengthwise, cut 1/4″ thick) approx. 4 med. potatoes

6 cups low-salt chicken broth

9 oz. fresh spinach
