This hearty sweet potato and sausage soup is a nourishing, high-protein meal that perfectly balances savoury and sweet notes. The combination of smoked linguiça or chorizo provides a deep, spice-infused base, while the duo of sweet and white potatoes creates a wonderfully thick and comforting texture. Fresh spinach is stirred through at the final moment, adding a vibrant colour and a boost of nutrients to every spoonful.
Ideal for a warming midweek dinner or a filling weekend lunch, this one-pot recipe is as practical as it is delicious. By mashing a portion of the potatoes directly into the broth, you achieve a rich, velvety consistency without the need for heavy cream. Serve this wholesome soup with a slice of crusty sourdough bread for a complete and satisfying homemade meal.

How to make Sweet Potato and Sausage Soup
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook until brown, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Transfer sausage to paper towels to drain. Add onions and garlic to pot and cook until translucent, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add all potatoes and cook until beginning to soften, stirring often, about 12 minutes. Add broth; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Using potato masher, mash some of potatoes in pot. Add browned sausage to soup. Stir in spinach and simmer just until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and serve.
