ladling
Dishing out broth
Ladling is the act of transferring liquid with a ladle—a long-handled spoon with a deep bowl.
You ladle soup into bowls, punch into cups, gravy onto meat.
The word suggests generous, measured portions: She stood at the stove, ladling stew onto plates.
Figuratively, to ladle something out is to dispense it liberally: ladling out praise, ladling out advice.
