Make

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil and when it begins to shimmer, add sausage and saute until golden brown. Transfer sausage to a bowl, leaving any oil remaining from cooking in the pan. To the hot pan, add carrots, celery, garlic and chard stems. Saute until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and continue to saute until potatoes are starting to soften on the outside, 2 minutes more.
Add Italian seasonings, tomato paste and vinegar and saute until veggies are coated, ~1 minute. Add thyme and stock. Reduce heat and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
To the soup add chard leaves and simmer until chard is tender, ~5 minutes. Stir in sausage.
Season soup with some salt, pepper or a bit more vinegar if needed.
Ladle soup into bowls. Enjoy!
