   In a dutch oven or soup pot, saute the sausage and onions over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, cook them about 5 minutes, until the onions begin to soften. Add the celery, carrots, chicken broth, salt and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the carrots are tender. Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings as desired. Add the potatoes and simmer another 3-4 minutes, until they are warm. Enjoy!
