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 October challenge today with our pumpkin soup recipe, and I hope you’ll join in the fun. Here’s how it works:

October’s Recipe: Pumpkin Soup
Happy soup season! This pumpkin soup recipe is one of the first soups I make each fall, and I thought it would be a fun seasonal pick for the Cooking Club this month. It’s super creamy, amazingly comforting, and filled with rich squash and curry flavor. I like to use kabocha squash for this recipe, but if you can’t find one, red kuri, buttercup, or even butternut squash would work nicely instead. Make it a meal by pairing it with good crusty bread and/or a simple salad. We love it with this pear salad recipe!
This recipe is both vegan and gluten-free.

Last Month’s Recipe
Last month’s recipe was my homemade granola. So many of you made this recipe your own:
- Catherine added cacao powder,
- Jackie mixed in dried peaches,
- Melissa used chocolate hazelnut butter instead of the almond butter,
- and Josephine added tahini, pecans, sunflower seeds, and cashews.
And that’s just to name a few! I’m so glad you had fun with this one. Here are all your photos:
And Kristie was our winner!
