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 absolutely love soups, and thankfully my family does too! We eat soup for lunches often, and for dinner at least once a week. I would love to win a copy of your book!
And as for another book, I would love to see one on simple, healthy, family dinners.
I have wanted this book since it came out! I especially love that it is an actual book and not an ebook. Thank you for this opportunity!
Oops. I would love to know how to get more variety with vegetables. I know you have the salad book, but I need inspiration for vegies other than salad. Cooked, fermented, etc. Thanks.
I would love to see your next book be about healthy desserts!
One pot meals! Your cookbook looks beautiful! I want soup now!

Crock-pot meals
30 minute meals sounds good to me too.
I’d love to see healthy, quick meals. Perhaps plan ahead meals that could be quick because half the work was done on another day – with something in the freezer or make a gallon of stock then use it like this or that. I’m also in to raw foods snacks for the kids.
cultured dairy, fermenting and soaking.

I’m always looking for nourishing breakfast and brunch recipes. I love to make treats for my family, like homemade caramel cinnamon rolls, and I need some healthy versions! And nothing beats a hot breakfast casserole on Sunday morning before heading out to church!
Desserts! or maybe lunches, those are challenging.
I find family meals that are nourishing yet simple without constantly repeating or spending big bucks to be hard.
Desserts!
Healthy, quick meals–always on the look out for those, especially gluten free meals.
I have always been a soup lover. Desserts would be the one I would like to see next.
I’d love to know how to make Pho!
I don’t know if it’s enough for a book topic, but I’m really interested in what sweeteners to use that would be healthy, and why. Seems like there is a lot of conflictin info out there and I wonder about things like erythritol (sp?), agave, coconut sugar, maple syrup, etc. Thanks! Really looking forward to trying the soups; they look yummy!
