I heard of Soupson through my friend Mike Milano (owner and hairdresser of Fresh Salon). He told me knew of a great neighbourhood place that serves the best and freshest soups.

My first visit there left a lasting impression. As I was parking, I saw a woman in her seventies getting off a 79’ Yamaha motorcycle. She took off her helmet and along with the friendliest smile; I saw a head of shortly cropped hair full of rainbow colors! (I later learned that this was Leyenda’s mom). Leyenda has authentic eyes and a warm smile. I love her story: At a crossroad in her career, she went from being a Sales and Marketing director to opening her own restaurant serving homemade, daily soups. The restaurant/ grocery store is now a thriving and growing business in her community. 

My favourite Leyenda quote:  “I love the idea of feeding people real, comforting food, and this felt right.”
