Instructions:

- Add a dash of salt and black pepper.

- Set the crockpot on low and cook for 4-5 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and flavors meld together.
- Approximately 30 minutes before serving, add the softened cream cheese and heavy whipping cream.
- Stir well to combine until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the soup.

- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt, black pepper, or red pepper if desired.

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.
