sweet potato soup

I like this soup a lot, it's so easy to make and tasty! I followed Noble Pig's recipe. Even though my soup turns out to be pretty clear unlike Noble Pig's soup, but it still is tasty!

Sweet Potato and Sausage Soup
Adapted from Bon Appetit



2tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 11- to 13- ounce fully cooked smoked Portuguese linguica sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 medium onions, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
2 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams; about 2 large), peeled, halved and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 pound white-skinned potatoes, peeled, halved and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
6 cups chicken broth
1 9-ounce bag fresh spinach

1.Heat olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until brown, stirring often, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer sausage to a paper towel to drain.

2.Add onions and garlic to pot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3.Add all potatoes and cook until they begin to soften, stirring often, about 12 minutes.

4.Add broth and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Using a potato masher, mash some of the potatoes in the pot. Add browned sausage to soup. Stir in fresh spinach and simmer just until wilted, about three minutes. Season with salt and divide among bowls to serve.
