Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 6 oz smoked turkey bacon, diced

Cheeses

  • 1 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese

Liquids & Broth

  • 6 cups natural chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Pasta & Carbs

  • 2 cups dry pasta sheets, broken into pieces

Herbs & Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped

Other

  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatics: Start by sautéing chopped onions and garlic in a pan until translucent and fragrant. This releases their natural sweetness and builds a tasty base for your soup.
  2. Add Smoked Turkey Bacon: Toss in the diced smoked turkey bacon and cook until it is slightly crisped to release a smoky aroma that will infuse the entire dish.
  3. Combine in Slow Cooker: Transfer the sautéed mixture into your slow cooker along with natural chicken broth, plant-based cream cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, fresh basil and oregano, and the natural gelling agent. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  4. Add Pasta and Spinach: Add broken dry pasta sheets and fresh spinach on top before closing the slow cooker lid. You may gently stir for even pasta distribution or leave layers for texture contrast.
  5. Slow Cook Until Perfect: Set the slow cooker on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. During this time, the pasta will soften, flavors will meld, and the soup will develop a luxuriously creamy texture.
  6. Finish with Plant-Based Cheese: Just before serving, stir in shredded plant-based cheese to melt elegantly into the hot soup, adding a final creamy richness.

Notes

  • For best texture, add pasta during the last 1-2 hours of cooking to avoid mushiness.
  • Use fresh basil and oregano for elevated flavor rather than dried herbs.
  • Adjust the amount of plant-based cream cheese to control soup creaminess to your preference.
  • Do not skip sautéing aromatics and turkey bacon to build important depth of flavor.
  • If possible, stir the soup midway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution and flavor melding.
