Warming Up In Mount Kisco Where Soup Shines

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. -- Anyone who lives here knows Leslie Lampert of Ladle of Love put Mount Kisco on the map as "the" spot for soup. And while you'll certainly find a mouth-watering list of winter warmers worth taking home or back to the office at her slim storefront, sometimes, you just need a spot to sit down and thaw out.
