  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (with juices)

  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional topping)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage, breaking it apart, and cook until browned.
