      5 oz Hearty winter greens; tough

           - rough chopped
      1 lb Italian sausage,  sweet or

    1/2 c  Small pasta
           Grated Parmesan; for topping
           - opt
 
  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.
