Cut the sausage into bite-sized slices. This is easier done when at least partially frozen.
1 Package of Italian sausage
Brown the sausage and onion together until the onion becomes soft and transparent.
1 large sweet onion
Add the chicken broth, pumpkin, sage and nutmeg. Stir and bring to a boil.
A carton of chicken broth, 1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon ground sage, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Add the sweet potato, lower to a simmer and cover. Cook for at least 30 minutes until the sweet potato is tender.
1 large sweet potato
When ready to serve, mix a handful of baby spinach in each bowl. The hot soup will wilt it perfectly! The perfect bite was getting sausage and potato together.
