1/2 medium yellow onion (diced (about 1 cup))
2 medium carrots (peeled and chopped (about 3/4 cup))
2 medium cloves garlic (minced (about 2 teaspoons))
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano*
1/2 teaspoon dried basil*
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste

4 cups about 4 ounces packed baby spinach

Ground sweet Italian sausage (3/4 pound if adding to all; use about 1/3 pound if adding to half)

Steps:

  • Add the carrots, onion, garlic, spices, tomatoes and broth to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low until the carrots are tender, 3-6 hours (time varies depending on your slow cooker. If you cook it for longer - say, 8 hours - it won't hurt).
  • Add the tortellini to the slow cooker, stir to combine, cover, and cook on high 20 minutes.
  • Add the spinach, stir until wilted, cover again, and cook another 5 minutes.
  • Warm the half and half in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add the cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan to the slow cooker. Stir until thoroughly combined and turn off the heat.
  • Remove bay leaf. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • If adding sausage, place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add sausage to the pan and brown, breaking into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks. Add cooked sausage to individual servings.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, nutrients, and color to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you add too much food, it will not cook evenly. Leave some space between the ingredients so that they can circulate freely.
  • Cook on low for longer. This will help the flavors to develop and the vegetables to soften. For most soups, 6-8 hours on low is ideal.
  • Season to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust other seasonings as desired. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a bit of brightness.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Some good options include grated Parmesan cheese, croutons, and chopped fresh herbs.
