During these cold winter months, who wants to leave their house for food? You’d have to bundle up, warm up the car, clean it off, then drive in the snow just to get a nice, hot meal. Or you can get some fresh, hot soup delivered to you at no extra cost! What a great way to bundle inside with a blanket while watching TV. The Ladle Lady offers just that – a soup restaurant without the restaurant. They deliver to the Eastside, Riverwest, Northshore, Wauwatosa, downtown and Bayview areas. The owner, Maryann, gave us some more information about her unique food service!

What range of goods do you sell?
I offer soups by the quart that are freshly made using fresh, locally purveyed ingredients. The quarts are available 7 days a week with bread and butter AND free delivery. Each weekly soup menu features a vegan option, vegetarian, and something for the carnivores too. Year round, we do catering for any event and have some of the prettiest charcuterie and cheese boards on the planet.
