A few weeks back, I posted a recipe for a Sweet Potato and Andouille Sausage Soup. You’re probably thinking, “okay, so you just added leeks?”. Kind of. I’m constantly playing in my kitchen. I loved the flavor of my sweet potato and andouille sausage soup, so I decided to tweak it to create something new. This recipe includes the addition of leeks and I didn’t blend it. The flavor surprisingly came out completely different, and actually BETTER! The leeks add so much flavor. Its the only additional ingredient I added and I’m pleasantly surprised.
Any time you’re cooking and following a recipe, it’s okay to tweak it sometimes! You might surprise yourself and create something new and delicious. Of course, there’s the chance that you’ll botch it totally (which I’ve done plenty of times), but there’s also the chance that you’ll rock it and feel like Top Chef – from the show 🙂
Here we go, a SOUPer simple recipe that is healthy (of course) and cooks up in no time!
