Sausage and Sweet Potato Soup

Olive oil
10 ounces sausage (I like linguica, but depending on your taste buds you should pick a sausage you like.)
2 onions, chopped
2 pounds yams (red skin), peeled and cubed
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
6 cups chicken stock
3 cups spinach, clean and FRESH
3 cloves, (not heads, unless you expect to do some heavy-duty vampire hunting later) garlic, chopped

Saute your onions and garlic. Remove from the pan. Brown the sausage in the pan. Remove and drain the sausage on paper towels.

Place the chicken stock in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add the potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are soft. Toss in the sausage, onions and garlic.

Give it a good rolling boil to marry the flavors, and then reduce to a simmer for 45 minutes or so.

Just before serving toss in the spinach.
