Instruction

  • Chop onion and carrots; mince garlic; spiralize sweet potato.
  • Cook sausage in a skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • In a large pot on medium-high heat, add olive oil, then spices and onion. Saute until onions begin to go translucent. Add carrots and garlic and saute for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and cooked sausage to the pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add spiralized sweet potatoes. Cook for 3 more minutes, or until all vegetables are softened to liking. Add spinach, and once wilted add half and half. Bring the soup up to a boil just to make sure everything is heated through and then remove from the heat.
  • Serve garnished with parmesan, parsley, and lemon wedges that can be squeezed into the soup for extra tang.
