Ovenproof soup bowls have an extended handle for easy handling when hot.
Soup bowls have a simple function of containing hot or cold soup. Molded or thrown on a potter's wheel, soup bowls are made from glass, plastic, stoneware, porcelain and other materials. Sold individually or in sets, modern soup bowls can match dishware or double as cooking vessels. Although they are traditionally round with an open top, contemporary restaurants and design stores feature asymmetrical and geometric soup bowls with rectangular shapes.
Ovenproof
Made from glass, ovenproof ceramic and other materials, ovenproof soup bowls or crocks are used to cook individual portions of chili, stew or onion soup. Ovenproof bowls allow you to customize the presentation or melt cheese across the top. The unique feature of these bowls is an extended side handle that allows a cook to easily pull each bowl out of the oven without the contents spilling over the sides.
Double-Handled
Double-handled soup bowls make it easy to sip broths or stir cream-based chowders. One classic design includes a shallow cup and wide mouth to allow the soup to cool evenly. Double-handled soup bowls are also used to serve baked fruit desserts and make individual pot pies. The wide mouths make these bowls easy to clean and stack. The double handles allow you to hold the bowl without burning your hands on the hot base.
Noodle Soup Bowls
Asian noodle dishes are one-pot meals that often include both protein and vegetables. Bowls for soup noodles have a wide diameter and deeper cup to contain the full dish. Contemporary Asian or fusion restaurants and home stores offer rectangular-shaped bowls, which often have a lacquer finish.
Bread Soup Bowls
Bread soup bowls are toasted loaves of bread hollowed out and filled with thick soup, stew or chili. The types of breads used, like sourdough and Italian, have a thick crust to contain the soup. Intended to be eaten with the soup, diners pull off pieces of bread from the top of the bowl as the soup level goes down. The bread remaining at the bottom becomes saturated with flavor for a savory final bite.
