Spicy Sausage and Potato Soup

Yesterday I tried a recipe I found on a can of tomato sauce. I did make some substitutions for ingredients I had on hand. The original recipe called for bulk hot sausage, chicken broth and tomato sauce. This soup is hearty and smells almost like a crawfish boil while cooking. I will definitley make it again. Next time I will add a tablespoon of flour to the sausage, pepper and onions before adding the liquids. I think to will give the broth a little more body.
