2. Combine in Crockpot:

4. Season:

- Stir in the red pepper.
5. Cook:

Tips:

- For a deeper flavor, consider browning the sausage and onions in a skillet before adding them to the crockpot.

- If you prefer a milder soup, you can reduce the amount of serrano peppers or substitute them with a milder pepper like bell peppers.

- Make sure to chop the spinach roughly so it integrates well into the soup.

- For added richness, you can substitute chicken broth with bone broth.

- If you like a thicker soup, allow it to cook uncovered for the last 15 minutes or stir in a small amount of xanthan gum.
