Ingredients

• 1 pound sweet Italian sausage casings removed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 4 garlic cloves grated or finely minced

• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 bay leaf

Instructions

• Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Cook the sausage in the olive oil, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon until almost cooked thru, about 5 minutes. Add in the onion, salt and pepper, and cook until turning translucent, another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add in the sweet potatoes, chicken stock and bay leaf. Cook partially covered over medium heat until the sweet potatoes are tender, 20 minutes.
