     2 lg Carrots; halved lengthwise;
          - sliced
     2    Celery ribs; sliced
     1    Yellow or red onion; minced
     1    Parmesan rind; opt
     1 lg Sprig fresh rosemary
          +=OR=+
     1 ts Dried rosemary
     7 c  Chicken broth
     1 tb Olive oil
     1 ts Onion powder
     1 ts Garlic powder
   1/4 ts Red-pepper flakes; more to

          Juice of 1/2 lemon; more to

          Salt & black pepper
     5 oz Hearty winter greens; tough

          - rough chopped
     1 lb Italian sausage,  sweet or
          - hot
   1/2 c  Small pasta

 In a 6 to 8 quart slow cooker, combine the garlic,
 carrots, celery, onion, Parmesan rind, rosemary, chicken
 broth, olive oil, onion and garlic powders, red-pepper
 flakes, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and several
 generous grinds of black pepper. Cook on low until the
 carrots are tender and the flavors have blended, about 6
 hours.

 Increase the heat to high and remove the lid. Stir in
 the greens. Pinch the sausage into 1-inch pieces and
 drop them into the soup, gently submerging them. Replace
 the lid and cook until the sausage is cooked through,
 about 1 hour. If using the couscous or pasta, stir it in
 40 minutes after you have added the sausage, and cook
 for 20 minutes.

 Remove the Parmesan rind and rosemary stem and discard.
 Taste the soup and add more salt, black or red-pepper or
 lemon juice, if you like. Serve topped with Parmesan, if
 desired.
