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 leave a comment on the recipe’s blog post. 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 potato soup recipe, and I hope you’ll join in the fun. Here’s how it works:

December’s Recipe: Creamy Potato Soup
‘Tis the season for all things cozy and comforting, so this month, we’re making the ultimate cold weather comfort food: Creamy Potato Soup!
You can make this soup 3 ways:
- Classic – Make an ultra-rich and creamy soup with all-purpose flour and heavy cream.
- Dairy-free – Use vegan butter and replace the cream with your favorite unsweetened plant-based milk (I like almond). The milk will be thinner than cream, so start with just 2/3 cup and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Gluten-free – Replace the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend. I like King Arthur!
I treat this recipe like a loaded baked potato in soup form, meaning that I pile my bowl with as many toppings as I can possibly fit. I love it with a dollop of vegan sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chives or green onions. If I plan in advance, I make vegan bacon bits to sprinkle on top too.
Do you have any favorite toppings? Let me know in your entry!

Last Month’s Recipe
Last month, we made my classic stuffing recipe to celebrate Thanksgiving. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who joined in! It means the world that you make and trust our recipes for holidays and special occasions. Whether you served the stuffing at a Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, or regular November dinner, I hope you absolutely loved it.
Special shoutout to Gail and Jenny, who both replaced the celery with fennel. I can’t wait to try that next year!
Here are some of your photos:
And congrats to our winner Laurie!
