What the AI looks for in Soup Spoons
- Bowl shape
- A round bowl suits cream and bouillon soups; an oval place spoon suits chunky soups and stews. Round soup spoons are sipped from the side, and oval ones are eaten from the tip.
- Bowl depth
- Deeper than a dessert spoon. Shallow bowls spill broth on the way up.
- Rim
- Smooth, rolled edge. You sip from the edge.
Brands that matter
- Fortessa: Restaurant-grade open-stock stainless.
- Oneida: Round and oval soup spoons in many patterns.
- Mepra: European patterns with distinct soup pieces.
What to avoid
- Shallow spoons sold as soup spoons
- Sharp stamped edges
Questions
Round or oval soup spoon?
Round (cream soup or bouillon) is the traditional choice for thin soups. Oval is more versatile if you only buy one.
