In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown it; then transfer to a plate.
In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the vegetable broth, sage leaves, carrots, sweet potatoes, smoked paprika, white beans, and half of the browned sausage. Simmer for about 15 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender.
