Hearty Sausage Fall Soup...

Hello Dear friends! Oh goodness it has been quite some time since I have posted a new recipe. Oh the hecticness of life! Last weekend I opted to make a crock pot type soup. I looked in the cupboards and freezer and came up with this recipe which was delicious. Hearty Sausage Fall Soup Layer the crock pot with the following items: 1 lb Sausage (I used hot but sweet would work too) 2 cans kidney beans (NOT drained) 4 sweet potatoes diced 4 carrots cut into bite sized pieces 2 celery stalks cut into bite sized pieces with the leaves 2 tsp chopped garlic 1 tsp dry Italian seasoning mix 24 oz chicken broth Cover and cook on high 3 hours or low 5 hours. Salt and Pepper to taste I used sausage which was in link form, so I chopped the sausage after it cooked into bite sized pieces. If you use grown sausage just crumble it before adding other ingredients. The sweet potatoes practically dissolved in the soup, to make it a thicker consistency with just stirring. Enjoy!
