Life's a Stitch

The sky was blue, the air was crisp, both the inspiration for a pot of soup and a progress on a scarf on the needles. Not the one you think, although the colours are right. I might have to call that my Autumn Soup Scarf.

First the soup recipe:

Autumn soup, a combination of two recipes

Ingredients: 

5 Italian sausages

 3T olive oil

2 cloves crushed garlic

3 leeks, cleaned and cut in 1.5” slices

4 carrots cut into chunks

 2 cans tomato paste

2 quarts beef broth

2/3 C wild rice (or quinoa)

red chili flakes to taste

 2/3 C faro (if you can't find it add more wild rice or quinoa)

2 cans lentils, drained

1 bunch kale

Bake sausages until done. Drain all that grease and cut into small pieces. In
a Dutch oven sauté garlic, carrots and leeks until leeks start to wilt and
garlic is not burning, Combine with sausages, tomato paste, broth, wild rice
and red chili flakes.  Bring to boil then
simmer until carrots are almost done, Add faro and cook for fifteen minutes more. Add
lentils and kale and cook until hot enough to serve.

Now the knitting:

How could I have forgotten about this wonder in Wollemeise? Pay no attention to the name: High Speed Knitting. I've proved that to be inaccurate. It was hiding in my scarf basket, thinking it was finished.
