soup plate

Wide rimmed bowl

A soup plate is a wide, shallow bowl with a broad rim, deeper than a dinner plate but flatter than a typical bowl.

It's designed for serving soups, stews, and pasta dishes that have liquid components.

The rim keeps spills contained while allowing easy access with a spoon.
