In the language of porcelain makers, the name soup cup always describes the combination of a soup top and a soup bottom, i.e. a soup top cup - to which at least one handle is attached - and a soup bottom cup together. In the language of chefs and caterers, this term does not exist and usually refers to a soup top cup or a soup bowl. In order to fulfil our claim of being professionals for professionals, we occasionally combine the language of the kitchen with the language of porcelain. So we have created this rubric for you and show here as an excerpt both the soup cups with handles and the soup bowls without handles together in a group. Soup plates can be found in the "Plates and platters" section and everything together in our inspirations.
The majority of professional hosts use either soup bowls or soup cups to serve soups. The reasons for this lie solely in the practical handling when serving and enjoying. In a soup bowl, the soup, which is usually served hot, does not cool down as quickly as in a plate. Up to four soup cups fit on a standard serving tray, but only one soup plate. And finally, soup in a soup bowl does not spill over as quickly as in a plate.
Ultimately, soups can be served in all types and shapes of bowls. Only the desired filling content is a decisive factor and depends primarily on the type of soup being served.
Here we show you a selection of bowls from the Bowls and Bowls collection that we recommend for appetisers, main course soups and hearty stews. If you offer different soup specialities, be sure to choose several different shapes for your soup range! This gives each soup a highly unique look and attracts a lot of attention from guests.
