Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potatoes, 11⁄2 Tbsp of the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast until
barely tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
In a large, heavy pot, heat the remaining 1⁄2 Tbsp oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Add the onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add 3 cups (24 fl oz/750 ml) of the broth, raise the heat to high, and bring to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the red potato, cover, and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the sausage into slices 1⁄2 inch (12 mm) thick.
Step 3
Use a wooden spoon to mash the potatoes against the side of the pot, then stir them into the soup to thicken it. Add the sausage and remaining 5 cups (40 fl oz/1.25 l) broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Raise the heat to medium, add salt and pepper to taste, the roasted sweet potatoes, and the kale and cook, stirring often, until the kale is tender, about 8 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning and serve.
