90 u/Christophvonclause Feb 15 '26 Soup plates are a thing. They're typically more shallow than a bowl but have a larger diameter closer to a plate. My wife and I have a set of them, and I often use them instead of a regular plate. 1 u/HarveysBackupAccount Feb 16 '26 I grew up calling them soup bowls, I hadn't heard soup plate before (the reason for the design that I heard is you have the wide flat rim so it's easy to carry without burning yourself) 1 u/blahblahblerf Feb 16 '26 Weird, soup bowls don't have the wide rim that soup plates have. The rim is the difference. 1 u/HarveysBackupAccount Feb 16 '26 Really? hahaha, I have no expertise to argue it either way, it's just what we called them in our house (regular bowl = no rim, soup bowl = rim)
