I have been making some great progress on my new knitting project Sunday Sweater Mohair. For this mohair edition I use a combination of Single Merino (colour called "Tigerdyr") from I's Yarn together with Sandnes tynd silk mohair. This sweater is actually the first of my Make Nine 2021 knitting project.

Thick & creamy tomato soup
As the Winter is getting colder here in Denmark it is time to make some warm soup. Here I am starting out with using this recipe on tomato soup by Valdemarsro as starting point with a few modification such as using more dairy cream and less onion :-)
Any left over of this soup can be placed in the freezer for later use.
As other suggestion on tomato soup you could also look at these recipes: baked tomato soup, tomato soup with bacon & chickpea and tomato soup with cream.
Thick & cream tomato soup by Valdemarsro: - 4 servings
- 1 onion - medium chopped
- 1 cloves of garlic - fine chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon curry
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 leak - fine sliced
- 3 carrots - roughly grated
- 3 potatoes - roughly grated
- 3 tins (400 g) of canned tomatoes
- 70 g tomato concentrate
- 1 l vegetable stock
- ½-2 dl dairy whipping cream 30-38% fat
- soup noodles
- salt & pepper - for seasoning
- Fry the chopped onion & garlic in the olive oil in a medium-large cooking pot, until the onion is clear in the colour.
- Add in the species and fry them for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the vegetable, tomato, tomato concentrate & vegebtable stock.
- Bring the soup to the boil.
- Let the soup simmer gently under lid for 15 minutes.
- Blend the tomato soup.
- Add in the dairy cream together with the soup noodles.
- Lets the soup simmer gentle, until the noodles are ready.
- Season with salt & pepper.
- Serve :-)

Christmas sweater 2020 - the Christmas tree pattern is finished
It took me two days to knit the pattern of the Christmas trees with small golden candles on my Christmas sweater 2020. This knitting pattern took quiet some concentration to knit the Christmas tree and at the same time to increase the number of knitting masks with regular interval.
Now the remaining part is easy, as I just have to knit regular straight knit.
