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.
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 regularly cook for big crowds and found this book had some fantastic ideas to streamline the process and make things manageable and sustainable for the long term. Her recipes call for ingredients that are only really found in the States, so you will have to find a substitutions and also convert measurements. I imagine this might phase some (thus the 3 stars), but personally, I have the time and energy to do that. Am enjoying working my way through her regular batch recipes. I guess another down side is that her 'big batch' recipes serve 50 people. It will be a rarity that I will ever cook for that many!! So I think I'll be doubling her regular batch recipes to hit the right amount I'm after. Still, super happy with this book. It's given me some great ideas for doing hospitality for large groups without always feeling the pressure!
