Step 1
Warm some peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle your andouille sausage with Cajun seasoning, then cook it in the hot oil until it’s nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Once it’s done, drain any extra grease and set the sausage aside for now.
Step 2
In a saucepan, warm up the vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes and bring the broth to a boil. Let it cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 3
Stir the cooked sausage and corn into the pot with the sweet potatoes. Bring everything back up to a boil, then it’s ready to serve. Enjoy!
