Embrace Rest and Nourishment with Kathi Lipp’s “Sabbath Soup”
Edited by: Katelyn Kelly
This week on the Maria Liberati Show, we welcomed Kathi Lipp, author and host of the Clutter Free Academy podcast, to discuss her new book, “Sabbath Soup.” Kathi, a mother of six, has always longed for a day of rest amidst the hustle and bustle of family life. As the designated cook, she often found herself juggling meals while everyone else enjoyed their downtime.
To reclaim her Sundays, Kathi has devised a clever solution: from Saturday night to Sunday evening, she prepares meals in advance. By cooking up a big batch of soup during the week, she ensures that when Sunday rolls around, all she has to do is reheat and serve. This strategy not only saves her time but also allows her to enjoy her Sundays fully, taking care of her future self in the process.
Maria Liberati chimed in, sharing her own practice of designating a day to relax and indulge in activities she enjoys. It’s all about carving out that time to recharge, and Kathi’s approach to meal prep makes it achievable.
Soup is an economical and delicious option that requires minimal thought, making it perfect for busy families. Kathi emphasized its versatility: you can easily incorporate leftovers like veggies or meats and pair your soup with a fresh baguette for a satisfying meal. Plus, making soup can be a fun family activity. Kids can help by tossing leftover vegetables into the pot, creating not just a meal but also lasting memories in the kitchen.
Kathi generously shared a couple of her favorite soup recipes:
