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

February’s Recipe: Tomato Soup
What’s more comforting than creamy tomato soup?! This nostalgic recipe is one of my favorites to cook on gray February days. It’s warming, rich, and flavorful, and it calls for basic pantry ingredients. I love that I don’t have to go on a last-minute, freezing-cold grocery run in order to make it!
I offer two options in this tomato soup recipe. You can use heavy cream for a really classic tomato soup, or you can sub in coconut milk to make it vegan. Both versions are delicious! I know that coconut milk in tomato soup might sound crazy, but it totally works. It makes the soup rich and creamy, and you can’t taste the coconut one bit!
Serve this soup with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich to make it a meal.

Last Month’s Recipe
Last month’s recipe was my kale Caesar salad. This hearty, meal-worthy salad is loaded up with crispy chickpeas, crunchy croutons, and creamy avocado and doused in a rich, tangy dressing. Your #1 comment was that you loved all the textures in this dish, which is my favorite thing about it too! So glad it was a hit.
Here are all your photos:
And congrats to our winner Aliza!
