Ingredients
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, sliced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups chopped kale or spinach (optional)
Directions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sliced sausage for a few minutes until slightly crispy. This step adds depth of flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
- Add the browned sausage, sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, carrots, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth to the slow cooker.
- Stir in the smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the white beans and kale or spinach, if using. Let them warm through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice for a heartier meal.
