Ingredients
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) of vegetable oil
- 0.5 kg (1 lb) of spicy chicken or beef sausage (such as Merguez) or other variant, sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
- 1 ½ onions, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small uniform pieces
- 1 medium white potato, peeled and diced into small uniform pieces
- 3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 L (4 cups) of unsalted chicken broth

Preparation
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

- Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, stirring regularly (about 20 minutes).
- Using the back of a wooden spoon, mash a portion of the potatoes to thicken the soup.
