It’s cold here in Virginia– I know not as cold as many other places in the country (like my hometown of Buffalo, NY), but it’s extra cold when I spent last week in the Bahamas.
See? Heaven and wonderful weather!
Okay– need to focus on my awesome soup instead of remembering laying on the beach in paradise. It’s hard, but this soup is delicious! I adapted the recipe from Katie’s Cucina with what I had in my kitchen and to make it a little thinner. It’s a wonderful, healthy recipe to kick off the new year!

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 onion, diced (I used red onion)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 stalks celery, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbs pepper taste
- 1 lb Mild Italian Sausage
- 2 Sweet Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 6 cups Chicken Broth
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup pasta, rotini
- Parmesan cheese for serving
- Servings: 10-12
- Difficulty: easy
Directions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add the sausage to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon; cook until browned about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
Add the sweet potatoes, celery, carrots, red pepper, broth, and water. Bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 3 minutes less than package instructions. Reduce to a simmer.
With serving, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
