Instructions

Brown the sausage in a skillet, then drain excess grease.
Transfer the sausage to the slow cooker.
Add diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced carrots to the slow cooker.
Pour chicken broth into the slow cooker, add Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, then stir.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until carrots are tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, add frozen cheese tortellini to the mixture.
Stir in heavy cream, fresh spinach, and Parmesan cheese; cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasoning; serve in bowls with parsley and extra Parmesan garnish.

To enhance taste, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
