Heat butter and olive oil in a large soup pot on medium high heat. Once butter has melted, brown chicken sausage meatballs. It is okay if they do not retain shape.
Add chopped carrots to pan. Once about 50% soft, add onions and saute until translucent.
Add broth. Bring to light rolling simmer. Add couscous and cook for about 7 minutes, or until soft and fully cooked. Turn off heat. Chop spinach.
Once soup has slightly cooled and right before serving, add spinach and stir. Serve immediately. Top with parmesan if desired.
