I gave this recipe to Mom a couple weeks ago, and she called today and told me that she was making it for the gang tonight. I talked to her again after the meal, and she said that everyone enjoyed it a lot and that she intended to make it for company - the true test of a good recipe! Since they seemed to enjoy it as much as we do, I thought it would be appropriate to share it with all y'all tonight!
It's a very warm, cozy soup. Perfect for a chilly day!
16 oz smoked sausage
1 medium onion
2 celery stalks
2-3 large sweet potatoes, peeled
3 tablespoons flour
½ to ¾ teaspoon cayenne (how hot do you want it?)
4 ½ cups chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Dice the sausage and chop the vegetables (chop the potatoes coarsely). In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, sauté the sausage over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add onion, celery, and sweet potato, sautéing for 5 more minutes. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring thoroughly so that the flour is lightly cooked. Add broth and salt and pepper, stir thoroughly. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Serve piping hot with crusty bread or cornbread!
If you taste test this and decide it's not QUITE hot enough, only add cayenne to the soup that you are going to eat THAT NIGHT. Maybe I'm imagining things, but it seems like the leftovers get hotter as they sit in the fridge...
