Instructions:

1. Prep the Vegetables:
- Wash the fresh spinach and set it aside to drain.
- Peel and chop the carrots into small, bite-sized pieces.

- Mince the garlic clove.
2. Assemble Ingredients in Slow Cooker:
- In your slow cooker, add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion.
- Pour in the vegetable broth.
- Add the can of diced tomatoes (including the liquid).
3. Add Seasonings:
- Add the minced garlic, bay leaf, dried basil, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper to the slow cooker.
4. Cook:
- Stir everything together to combine well.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
- Set the slow cooker on low heat and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
5. Add Spinach:

6. Finish and Serve:

Tips:

- For added flavor, consider sautéing the onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil before adding them to the slow-cooker.

- If you prefer a heartier soup, you can add some cooked beans or lentils to the mix.

- Adjust the spices to your taste; if you like a bit more heat, add extra red pepper flakes.

- For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender before serving.

- Leftovers can be frozen for up to 3 months. Make sure to portion them out in airtight containers for easy reheating.

There you have it—a delectable, easy-to-make slow-cooker spinach and tomato soup that's both filling and nutritious.
