1 Tbsp dried parsley flakes<br />
<br />
6 Tbls butter<br />
1/4 tsp sea salt<br />
1/4 tsp ground black pepper<br />
1/2 cup all purpose flour<br />
2 cups milk<br />
<br />
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese<br />
3 oz spinach torn into small pieces stems removed<br />
(original recipe calls for kale)<br />
<br />
<u><b>Instructions</b></u><br />
In a pan, brown the sausage for 3-4 minutes. Add in the onion and continue cooking until<br />
sausage is completely cooked through. Drain off excess grease. Put sausage and onion in the slow cooker.<br />
<br />
Add broth, water, celery, carrot, potatoes, garlic powder, thyme and parsley to the slow cooker.<br />
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until potatoes are tender.<br />
<br />
In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, and flour. In saucepan melt butter over medium low heat. Stir in flour mixture to form a roux. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth.<br />
<br />
Stir cream mixture into slow cooker and then let cook on high without the lid for 15 more minutes.<br />
Just prior to serving add Parmesan cheese and spinach.<br />
