Monday we had a good amount of snow dump on us here in Utah. We had at least 5 inches here at our house. Between my son and I, we had to clear the drive way 4 times during the day.
On cold snow days, I want nothing more but to curl up at home in a cozy blanket with a good book or movie followed by a meal of hot soup and fresh baked bread. A hot soup like this Slow Cooker Spinach, Tortellini, Potato, and Sausage Soup is just what I need.
This soup is nice and hearty including spinach, potatoes, carrots, tortellini, and sausage in a creamy base. It was perfection for dinner on this cold and snowy day. I paired it with a fresh hot loaf of my homemade french bread.

- 2 cups half and half

Instructions
