soup tureen

Lidded serving bowl

A soup tureen is a large, deep serving dish with a lid, used for serving soup at the table.

Tureens are typically oval or round, often ornate, and come with a ladle.

They represent a more formal style of dining where soup is served from a central vessel rather than portioned in the kitchen: She lifted the lid of the tureen and ladled out the bisque.
