So hearty, so comforting, and so easy to make right in the crockpot with just 10 min prep!
Crockpot soups are simply the best, 365 days out of the year. You can set it and forget it, letting the slow cooker do all the work for you so you can go on about your busy day without worrying about a thing. Or at least not about dinner.
And this recipe here is no exception. All you have to do is simply cook up your sausage (if you have one of those fancy crockpots with a saute setting, this can literally be a one pot meal) and throw everything else right into the slow cooker.
When ready to serve, go ahead and stir in your spinach until wilted and top with freshly shaved Parmesan and some crusty bread for the coziest (easiest) meal ever.
