Just about a year ago, I released my cookbook, Ladled: Nourishing Soups for All Seasons. This book took a lot hard work to finish, but it was truly a work of love – both a love of soup, and a love of sharing that passion with you.
Anyone familiar with the work of Dr. Weston A. Price knows that nutrient dense broth was an important part of his nutritional protocol. (It’s high in minerals such as calcium and a gut-healing food. As a mostly dairy-free family, broths are even more important to us for their calcium content! Read about its amazing healing power here. ) Anyone who loves to cook from scratch knows that homemade stock is a lovely, beautiful food to work with, and so with an appreciation of both the culinary benefits and the health benefits of broth, I set out to write a book that used it well.
I had a lot of fun working with new broths and new ways to make broths familiar to me. And my family had happy tummies as they enjoyed even more lovely soups than normal like these shown below: Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo, Classic French Onion Soup, Lemongrass Thai Clam Chowder, Chinese Rice Congee, Beef Stew with Dumplings, Butternut and Apple Soup with Ginger, Beef Pho.
If possible, working on a cookbook devoted to soups helped me grow to love soup and stews even more. In this book, I share old family favorites, soups inspired by our favorite restaurants, easy creamy vegetable soups, rice congees, and many more. Here are two recipes from the book to check out. Simple Thai Broth, and Miso Brown Rice Congee. Also, download this preview of the book with three recipes! (It’s a PDF and we kept it lower quality so that it wouldn’t take up so much space on your computer, but it allows you to get a glimpse of the book format. 🙂 )
I’ve been so very pleased with the positive feedback I’ve gotten from my readers and friends who own the book. I am the type of person who gets a little giddy and red-faced by praise, and your kind feedback and certainly made me both more than once! You can read some of the reviews and/or buy it at my Amazon affiliate here.
What I love most about the feedback I’ve received? It’s gotten more people making soup on a regular basis! That was exactly my goal – to make broth-making and soup-making accessible. Because real food should work for real people on a real budget.
My hope is that this book gives you renewed joy in food as you explore the wonderful world of broths and soups, and that your body is even better nourished by that joy.
If you’d like to win a copy, there will be three winners! U.S. winners can get their choice of a hardcopy or an ebook version. For those out of the U.S.. I can offer you an ebook version.

I would love a book with fast and easy whole food meals.

Now that you have a soup book and a salad book, all we need is a good bread book to go with it.
Lindsey Beech
Desserts!! Desserts are my downfall to eating ‘real food.’

This book would make getting started with homemade broth so much easier — it seems so overwhelming to me! A great book idea would simple recipes that use limited ingredients.

I think we need a real food dessert book. I think thats probably the area where I struggle the most with junk food, or am the most likely to use less than quality ingredients.

I would love to see what your family eats day in and day out. Even for someone who loves to cook, feeding a family 3 times a day 7 days a week, without ever stopping, is kind of overwhelming, right? So I’d love to see how you do it, because I think you are magic in the kitchen! It could be inspirational to see when you are doing more, and also helpful to see the really easy meals that you do.
I just got Ladled and I am so pleased with it. It is bringing more warmth and joy into our house already. I have been making soups, and stocks, for years, but your stock section alone has really helped me to make my stocks better (and easier). I love this book so much that I am interested in cooking two of your soups every week.
If I should win this giveaway I will be gifting this book to someone I love!
Thanks, Kimi, for all that you do. You have made our house more joyous with your blog!

What a wonderful new book! I love this because soup has been the most comforting food I’ve been eating lately. I usually love healing fruit free green smoothies at night, but since the cold weather hit, it’s been all about soup. This book would be such a treasure in my kitchen! I’d love to see your next cookbook be about warming breakfast ideas. I love smoothies in the morning, but it would be nice to see some hot gut-friendly porridge and such, all in a cookbook!:) Good luck to you and the book is lovely!:)
Hanna
Yum!

I purchased this book last year when it came out as well as one for a gift. If I would win another it would make a lovely gift for a friend!
For a new book – easy fermented foods would be nice.
