This is one of those great year-round soup recipes. It’s hearty from lots of vegetables yet still light from the savory broth base. It’s a quick soup too, great for weeknights! My Kale, Sausage, & Sweet Potato soup has everything you need – flavorful sausage, smokey spices, sweetness from the sweet potato, creamy white beans, and that classic homemade soup flavor. One hearty serving is 5 WW SmartPoints on both the Blue and Green WW plans or 217 calories.
This soup is simple to make – it starts with the classic combo of carrots, celery, and onions. Once the veggies soften we add in some garlic, sweet potato, beans, sausage, spices, and chicken broth. Everything simmers together until the potatoes are cooked through and then we finish the soup by wilting in our kale. It seriously doesn’t get any easier than this, folks.
For the sausage I used Gilbert’s Craft Sausages Kale Chicken Sausage. It’s precooked and full of delicious flavors that compliment our soup – kale, shallots, and white wine. Each link is only 2 WW SmartPoints! You can use their store locator to see if you can find these sausage near you but if not, no worries, you can substitute a similar precooked sausage or use smoked turkey sausage.
My veggie-packed Kale, Sausage, & Sweet Potato Soup is perfect to pack for weekday lunches and will leave you feeling good. One recipe makes 5 hearty servings at 5 WW SmartPoints on both the Blue and Green WW plans and 217 calories each. Enjoy!
