Sabbath Soup with Kathi Lipp
Episode 143
Soup, Sabbath, and the Secret to Connection
In this heartwarming episode, Dr. Vickie welcomes author and speaker Kathi Lipp to talk about Sabbath Soup, her new book—and her intentional lifestyle built around connection, comfort, and (of course) soup. Kathi shares how she and her husband Roger traded Silicon Valley hustle for mountain rhythms, learning to fight loneliness and foster community in their remote cabin through one simple, nourishing habit: sharing soup.
Together, they explore how food can create low-pressure ways to build relationships, how Sabbath practices restore health, and why making soup is both budget-friendly and emotionally generous. You’ll also get ideas for creating rhythm in your week, tips for connecting with neighbors, and a surprising secret ingredient that makes bean soup sing.
This conversation blends key pillars of lifestyle medicine—nutrition, rest, stress management, and social connectedness—into one delicious, soul-filling pot.
