Book details

Rebekah Merkle has dabbled in a number of occupations ranging from running her own clothing label to designing fabrics to becoming a full-time high school humanities teacher (which is fitting, because she was a student in one of the founding classical Christian schools in the USA). Rebekah has written Eve in Exile, Classical Me, Classical Thee, and has edited the Brit Lit series for classical Christian schools. But by far her proudest accomplishment is her crew of five outrageous, hilarious, high-speed children, and her favorite role is that of wife to her similarly outrageous, hilarious, and high-speed husband Ben Merkle.

Hardback with Gold Spiral Binding Soup Night Slapdashery for TWO Dishtowels + Cookbook

Do you want to cook for a large group of people but are overwhelmed by the prospect? Look no further! Make meals that are quick, classy, and easy to assemble.

Look inside the book

The need to feed a crowd is a fact of life for many Christian communities, but it doesn’t exist anywhere else in the American social scene. Google “feed a big group” and you’ll get cute entertainment magazines with suggestions for caviar and soufflés for six, or, on the other hand, a mass of gray casseroles requiring only hamburger, cream of mushroom, and crushed Fritos.

Where are the actually delicious recipes for an actually large group—whether for a regular Bible study or a home group or a school event—where you don’t have to multiply the recipe by 16?

That’s why Rebekah Merkle has put together these soup night recipes with the scaling, menu, tips, and taste-testing fine-tuned from years in her own home.

If you want to take hospitality seriously but aren’t sure how, this is the book for you. It’s packed with no-nonsense practical advice about grocery runs, best kitchen utensils, soup-night logistics, budget- and time-saving tips, and husband-approved soup recipes (with bread and cinnamon rolls to go with).

Soup Night Slapdashery provides the 16 recipes you need to start practicing hospitality for big crowds. (Yes, regular-batch-sized recipes are included as well.) The great news is this won’t take you a week of prep. With this handy cookbook, you can easily feed a crowd with just a few hours of work.

I like the book- I spent a little bit of time diving into the book. I love reading RM's comments and intros to each recipe. It helped me plan my first gathering of our community group. I realized I could make a big batch of a stew I make often. I actually was able to sit and figure out the amounts I'd need for that using the comparisons of recipes and explanations. I'm going to officially use one of the recipes at our November gathering. I enjoy the "real life" quality of this book. Kind of like having an experienced friend in your kitchen helping you to feel less intimidated.

This book was exactly what I was hoping for - making larger amounts of food for more than 8 people. I like that Rebekah also recalibrates all of the recipes for smaller amounts so I can try them out first. Real ingredients that are not difficult to find and gluten-free recipes are identified.
