Wake me up, when october ends

Maybe 5 years ago I’d answer this prompt differently. October used to be very much my favorite time of the year, but it’s so butt close to the anniversary of becoming permanently disabled (November 1st) it kind of ruins the entire month for me.

No… I choose September as my favorite month of the year, because September has never let me down… In over 20 years… Don’t think too hard on that one. One reason I think September is so great is because it’s the beginning of the good part of being sensitive to seasons.

Actually – and without getting into too much irrelevant backstory – September is when I celebrate my biggest holiday of the year: the Autumn Equinox and the Harvest Moon. Picture this: September rolls by, you plant some onions, the Autumn Equinox rolls by, you harvest for your potato soup recipe. We feast with a special dish I’ll give the recipe below if you tolerate my self promo. Vegan instructions included👇

You can buy my music (I guess we’re plugging that noise today) here: https://mothtasia.bandcamp.com why you would want to? Isn’t it better than just donating to me to buy my hard work? Most of the sounds were created from scratch on there.

Harvest Celebration Potato Leek Soup

• •2lb of cubed steamed potatoes (microwave if you want, I guess, just cube them) A bag of hash browns is an excellent way to do this in the microwave
• Red onion diced good enough, doesn’t have to be fine.
• Whites of a leek washed after being cut (you don’t need the green part)
• alternative to leek or if you just want less work is green onions/scallions/spring onions (these are also easier to grow)
• 2 cups milk, if doing vegan non-sweetened non-vanilla, coconut works decent, I like soy for the thickness but it’s not always easy to find that in non-flavored, I wouldn’t recommend oat or almond
• 2 cups sharp cheddar or about half a cup of nutritional yeast for vegan (play with taste, add a bit at a time, start with at least half a cup)
• Cream of chicken, or for vegetarian cream of cheddar, or for vegan you can add more veggies at this step that will mush soft like tomatoes or peppers you roast then add to the soup. I personally would only add extra veggies if you’re doing vegan, as the cream can is a major flavor profile
• Cook together in a large pot on medium to medium high until onions soften to mush. Do not mash cubes. Anything that won’t mush in the time you plan on cooking you have to pan fry.
• meat route: replace leek with bacon bits.
