Sweet Potato & Sausage Soup
I’m a total soup person. Even if it’s like 100 degrees outside, I still like a bowl of soup. Is that weird?
Not sure why I love it so much, but I just do. It’s so comforting and delicious.
Whether it’s Tomato Soup, Butternut Squash Soup, Vegetable Soup… I like them all!
I like adding healthier things like greens and tons of veggies to my soups because shockingly, my kids will usually eat it.
This soup is hearty and healthy. The best part? It doesn’t take long to make. Tons of flavor and short on time. Perfect dinner on a busy day.

Yummy!!! I don’t understand people who “don’t do soup.” How do you not do soup? It’s the easiest thing you can make and it’s awesome. Even in 100 degree weather. And this soup looks like a serious winner. Sausage and sweet potatoes just go together in my world. Can’t wait to try it!
I am a soup person too, and most days it is around 100 degrees around here. haha. 🙂 This soup is so creative and looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it! Pinning my friend!
