  4. 4

    Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

  5. 5

    Stir in the fresh spinach and heavy cream. Cook for another 15 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.

  6. 6

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Chef's Tips

  • 💡For a spicier soup, use hot Italian sausage.
  • 💡You can substitute kale for spinach. Add it at the same time as the spinach.
  • 💡To make this soup even richer, stir in a tablespoon of mascarpone cheese along with the Parmesan.
