Make

  1. Heat a Dutch oven with butter over medium heat. When butter is melted and bubbly, add bell peppers, onions, garlic, fennel, and sausage with a pinch of salt. Saute until vegetables begin to turn tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

  2. Stir in thyme leaves, sweet potatoes, and stock and bring to a low simmer.

  3. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Simmer the soup gently until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have come together, 20-25 minutes.

  4. While the soup is simmering, whisk together wine vinegar, mustard, and honey in a serving bowl. Slowly add olive oil while whisking. Season with some salt and pepper. Add mixed greens on top of dressing but wait to toss until serving time.

  5. When soup is finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in apple cider vinegar. Taste and season with some salt and pepper, if needed.

  6. Toss the salad.

  7. Ladle soup into bowls and serve with salad on the side. Enjoy!
