Sabbath Soup: Weekly Menus and Rhythms to Make Space for a Day of Rest

Kathi Lipp gives readers an easy-to-follow process for meal planning and prep, so that they can enjoy a full day each week of real rest and refreshment.

Could you use a break from cooking (and everything else) once a week? Not only is rest vital for your mind and body, it’s good for your soul too. God designed us to enter into Sabbath rest one day per week, but as you know, meals still need to be made. Your family still needs to be fed.

Sabbath Soup includes convenient, seasonal meal plans that take the guesswork out of shopping and cooking. More than just a collection of delicious recipes—including main dishes, breads, breakfasts, desserts, salads, sides, and yes, soups—this is your guide to establishing a weekly rhythm and routine of meal planning and prep that allows you to have a true day off.

Do something good for your soul and experience the peace that comes with a full day dedicated to spending time with God, family, and friends. Savor your Sabbath as you proudly proclaim, “Soup’s on!”

        Rachael Adams

        Rachael was once a stay-at-home who struggled to believe that her life was truly significant. She was told her work was important, but in a sea of mundane tasks, it certainly didn’t feel true.

        But then, God started to work in her life.

        She began to find fulfillment, significance, and purpose. Not because her circumstances changed, but because her heart did.

        Now every week on her podcast, she shares the encouraging and inspiring stories of other women who are dedicated to living out their faith in God and believing their offering matters.
