I love quick recipes that produce a hearty and healthy meal for my family. This easy slow cooker sausage, spinach and white bean soup is delicious comfort food that everyone will love!

With life hovering at light speed, I am trying to simplify our evenings. The girls are in more after-school activities and have more homework, Joe is fully recovering from his last surgery, and I am working and traveling more. Lots of nights, when we walk in the door the last thing I want to think about is dinner. I seriously LOVE to cook, but sometimes I just plain don't have the time or the energy.

I have been adding recipes to my mental cookbook of meals that I can do with as little effort and time as possible, but are still healthy and filling. This slow cooker sausage, spinach and white bean soup is one of my new favorites! It is warm and hearty and super tasty, but simple enough that my girls eat it right up (along with all the veggies in it!). I also really love that I can put it together long before the afternoon rush, and it is ready and waiting for us when we come home after a busy few hours starving and exhausted!
