One of my most favorite dishes that I have cooked since starting this blog is this:
Sweet Potato and “Sausage” Hash
Several weeks ago I had a major craving for this delicious hash. I also had a major craving for soup (big surprise there!). Then I got to thinking…why not combine the two? And so became…
“Sausage,” Sweet Potato, and Apple Soup
Servings: 2
Ingredients
water, for cooking
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 apple, diced (I used a Jonagold)
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 vegan sausage link, sliced (I used Field Roast apple and sage)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried sweet basil
1 TB nutritional yeast (optional)
black pepper, to taste
fine sea salt, to taste
EVOO cooking spray
2 1/4 cups water*
2-3 tsp Better Than Bouillon vegetable soup base*
2 cups fresh spinach
*Vegetable broth can be used in place of the water and soup base.
Directions
1. Line a large soup pot with a thin layer of water. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot.
2. Lower the heat to medium and add garlic, onion, apple, sweet potato, sausage, and all seasonings. Cook, stirring frequently, for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables and apples are tender. Add additional water and/or EVOO cooking spray, as necessary, to keep ingredients from sticking.
3. Once the vegetables are cooked through, add water and vegetable soup base. Increase heat to medium-high until the soup is boiling.
4. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, add spinach, and simmer for approximately 5 minutes.
5. Eat with your favorite crackers and/or bread.
If you have tried and love the Sweet Potato and “Sausage” Hash, just wait until you try this soup!
I ate my soup with crumbled saltine crackers.
This is definitely one of the tastiest and easiest soups that I have made, to date.
It is absolutely to die for!
You could certainly make this soup using “real” sausage (preferably chicken or turkey), but if you have never tried Field Roast’s vegan sausage then I highly encourage you to do so. This company is definitely doing something right because it is delicious and I would never guess that it is not the “real deal.” Now… go. eat. soup!

Oh my gosh that all looks so good! 🙂 I really want to try to make the soup!
You definitely should! Please let me know what you think :).
I’ve made sweet potato & apple soup in the past but I love the addition of sausage! And saltine crackers are the new croutons ;)!
Saltines are the best. I love adding them to salads, too!
Interesting combo of sweet potato and apples! I bet it’s delicious.
It really is. You should definitely give it a try!
Oh I’ve never had apples in soup before – although one of my favorite “brat” combinations is veggie chicken and apples so I’m sure this would be amazing!
I am sure it would be a great combination. I have heard of apple chicken sausage so that might be a great addition to this soup.
I LOVE field roast–especially the apple one! I’m a soup fanatic all year round, but especially this time of year with all of our gross snow. Sounds tasty!
Field Roast is AMAZING!! Everyone should try it 🙂
So, I love faux-sausage. The flavor is awesome and honestly, it’s like the exact texture as real sausage! Love this recipe!
I am pretty certain I could serve this to most meat eaters and they would never know the difference :).
So what is this sausage? I’m not a big fan of regular sausage but if it’s a veggie kind, I’ll have to give it a try!
I like this WAY more than I ever liked sausage when I was a meat-eater. You should absolutely try it.
That soup sounds so good! I love sweet potatoes and I bet they would be really good with apples and those seasonings. I have never tried nutritional yeast, I have seen it on a lot of blogs and been thinking that I should give it a try.
Nutritional yeast is awesome. It gives food a cheesy flavor and has great nutritional benefits (hence, the name ;)).
this sounds so intriguing! yum!
You should absolutely give it a try :).
This soup looks hearty and yummy!
Happy weekend girl!
Thank you! You have a great week, as well!
Wow that hash sounds awesome! And yay for a veggie recipe 😉
You should give both recipes a try. They are both definitely very veggie-filled :).
This soup and hash looks delicious! I will definitely be making it before the end of winter.
Please let me know what you think!
Yum! Both look delicious! I’ve been obsessed with sweet potatoes lately!
Sweet potatoes are the best! I can never get enough of them.
I am obsessed with Field Roast. They are located in Seattle, so I want to go see their “factory.” Is this what I call it?? HA. YUM!
That would be really cool to visit. Field Roast is pretty much amazing!
this is my kind of soup! yum
You should definitely give it a try! 🙂
I seriously hate meat substitutes, but Field Roast apple sage sausage is one of the best foods on the planet. I seek out sausage recipes just so I can put it to use. I love this soup!
Isn’t it amazing? I had heard that it was good but never realized just HOW GOOD until I tried it. That company has certainly won me over.
I’ve never heard of apples in soup, but it kind of makes sense. I mean, they are both sweet and sometimes a bit tart and would add a great texture to the soup. I like this idea! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
You’re welcome! Let me know if you give it a try :).
I’ve never seen or tried vegan sausage. Where do you typically get it?
You really need to try it! I generally buy the Field Roast sausage at Whole Foods.
This sounds delicious I love sweet potatoes & sausage! Where did you buy the vegan sausage? I would love to test it out! Live +Shine Courtstar
I usually buy it at Whole Foods. You should definitely give it a try!
I love all of the flavors going on in here – yum!
This recipe definitely makes for a very flavorful bowl of soup. I hope you give it a try!
I’m not sure I would have ever thought to pair sweet potato & apple together. Love the combo.
It really is good! You should definitely give the hash or soup recipe (or both! ;)) a try.
My momma makes a fabulous sweet potato and apple casserole every Thanksgiving that I love, but I never would have thought to add apple to soup – sounds delic!
Yum! That casserole sounds delicious :).
i have been wanting to try field roast for awhile now but kept putting it off.. but this soup looks so warm and comforting which i totally need!
