I did few mods but this recipe is super versatile and has great base flavors which is why I think it deserves 5 starts. I used butternut squash instead of sweet potato and heaping tsp. of hot paprika and doubled cumin and left out the coriander because I didn't have any on hand and used real Parmesan cheese instead of goat or feta. As another user recommended I browned the sausage with the onions and garlic before adding in the squash and I think that adds a bit to texture and taste. Because I subbed squash I increased the simmer time from 15 to 20 min.
I made this just as the recipe called for, and it was very tasty! I always try the recipe "as written" initially when it's new to us. Very flavorful and next time will add an additional can of beans, as they get lost in the soup! My entire family loved it and will be adding it to our menu. Next time I'll post additions we made! Also, thought I had Feta Cheese, but didn't so grated Pepper Jack on top! Delicious!!
Smokey Sausage Kale Sweet Potato Soup Haiku: "Really tasty soup. Subbed in spinach for the kale, kept the rest the same." I could nudge this up to 5 stars (whole family really loved it, and the leftovers were divine as well) but I think that a chorizo or andouille sausage would've given it just that extra bit of kick that it needed. Otherwise, w/ a hunk of baguette soaking in your bowl - yum.
Sweet potatoes, onion and kale (lots of it more like 4-5 cups) from our garden. I bought 4 sweet Italian and 2 hot sausage. cut them into pieces with my kitchen scissors and sautéed. I used 3 cans of chic peas (also known as garbanzo beans. The spices suggested truly enhanced the broth so don't dismiss this.
Loved this recipe! I doubled the amount of sweet potatoes to make it a little chunkier, used Andouille sausage for a spicier kick, and substituted cumin for the coriander (only because I was out), and everyone who tried it loved it! We'll make it again for sure!!!
I had a soup similar to this at a local winery and wanted to make it at home. Hubby liked the feta cheese; it was good like that but I think I preferred without. I did not add any chick peas. I used Cajun-style Andouille sausage. It was spicy and we loved it!
Yummmmmm! Made this soup the other day & it is delicious! Only change i made was that I used al Fresco spinach feta chicken sausage & threw in some mushrooms i had hanging around.
This was delicious and I will definitely be making it again. You can do lots of things to change this up a little bit too. I was short a cup of stock but it still turned out great.
I had to omit the garlic due to being married to a vampire but otherwise I made this exactly as written and it is delicious!
good but I think we prefer the soup recipe that has cream in it. Used black beans and spinach but not as much hot spices.
