Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
About 15 minutes before serving, add the fresh spinach and let it wilt in the hot soup. Stir well.

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.
