A soup spoon is a type of spoon specifically designed for eating soup and other liquid-based foods. It typically has a round, deep bowl that allows for easy scooping and sipping. The handle is usually longer than that of a regular spoon, making it comfortable to use with deep bowls or pots. Soup spoons are often made from materials like stainless steel, plastic, or ceramic. They are commonly found in kitchens and dining settings, and are part of a standard cutlery set. In some cultures, soup spoons may have unique designs or features, reflecting local traditions and culinary practices.
