Choosing your soup plate

Which diameter to choose?

Soup plates generally range from 19 to 23 cm. A wider diameter suits pasta and generous dishes, while a more contained format works for broths. Aim to match the diameter with that of your dinner plates.

Which material for which use?

Porcelain is sturdy and neutral, withstanding intensive use and the dishwasher, which makes it a common choice in hospitality. Tempered glass, such as Arcoroc, offers good impact resistance and easy care. Choose according to how often it is used and the look you want.

Round, square or oval?

The round shape remains the most universal and the easiest to coordinate. The square shape structures a modern setting, while the oval shape highlights elongated presentations. Refer to the dedicated sub-sections to compare models.

Stackable and dishwasher-safe?

For high-volume service, favour stackable models that optimise storage, and check the dishwasher compatibility shown on each product page.

The soup plate naturally complements your flat plates and dessert plates. Browse the full selection in our Plates section and more broadly in Tableware at AZ Boutique.
