Sweet potato-sausage soup by Mama Steph

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 to 12 ounces smoked link sausage
• 1 medium yellow or white onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups chicken broth (you can even use water in a pinch)
• 4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt or seasoned salt
• ½ pound turnip greens, roughly chopped

Instructions

• In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add sausage and turnip greens; cook until greens are wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Tip: If soup boils too hard, you may need to add an extra cup of water or broth to make up for evaporation.
