Love & Lemons Cooking Club – December!

Love & Lemons Cooking Club – December!

Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club Challenge this month! It’s easy to enter, and one lucky winner will receive a prize. Find all the details below.





Our Cooking Club is a fun way to celebrate the Love & Lemons community of readers. The concept is super simple–each month, I choose a recipe. You make it, and you email me a photo. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive a prize.

I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking one recipe each month. We’re kicking off our December challenge today with our broccoli cheddar soup recipe, and I hope you’ll join in the fun. Here’s how it works:

Two bowls of broccoli cheddar soup with croutons


Jack and I have made this broccoli cheddar soup recipe a few times lately, and it has really been hitting the spot. It’s SO creamy, cheesy, and comforting–just what I crave on a cold winter day. Serve it with homemade croutons or crusty bread to take it over the top!

This recipe makes a traditional broccoli cheddar soup. For a vegan and dairy-free alternative, you’re welcome to make this vegan broccoli soup instead. I can’t pick a favorite between the two recipes–both are delicious!–so choose whichever you prefer. I hope they help you stay warm this holiday season!

Last Month’s Recipe

Last month’s recipe was our sweet potato casserole. It was wonderful to hear how many of you shared this dish with friends and family at your Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving celebrations. Thank you for making our recipe part of your special meal! I hope you loved it.

Here are all your photos:
