would you use this for an individual soup bowl? or a serving bowl for a side dish?

They are large soup bowls or pasta bowls, not an easy fit into the dishwasher but we use them a lotsmaller bowl we use for salad, cereal, etc.

Yes this bowl is very good for an individual soup bowl. An individual pasta bowl, or a serving bowl for a side dish for 3 - 4 servings.

A little small for a side dish, although not impossible. I use them for pasta Bowles and salads. They could also be used for larger portions of soup.

Both...a smaller serving bowl or larger soup bowl. There is no rim when considering for soup bowl...something that is a personal preference for some.

It would be great for serving a side dish. I think the shape would make it difficult to eat soup from.

If they are not too hot, I think they would be ideal for this. The reason being, when I first got these bowls I used them to serve purée baby food, but one day I poured some pumpkin purée that was a bit hot and the spoon that I was using to stirred the purée got colored from the bowl. Since then I only use it to serve cornflakes, or fruits. But, I guess you could.

I am not sure you would want to use it as a bowl sine it bowl part has drainage holes. However,I can see using it as a strainer or you could set a regular bowl in it to take advantage of the expanding handles.

Yes, the kettle certainly is small enough for an individual serving. In fact, I think it to be the perfect size for such. I studied the dimensions before purchasing. They should be listed somewhere in the ad/s.

Technically, yes. These "salad" bowls are much larger than any soup bowl I've ever seen but I suppose they can double as a soup bowl (for up to 4 persons!) if you like an extra large serving of soup.

I have not used my bowls for that purpose. I don't remember the description of the item. I think they are serving bowls.

It's really not the right shape. A dish pan would work much better for that purpose. Likely this bowl would tip over if used for that purpose.

13 ounces to the brim, or about 10 ounces of soup or cereal. This is a great all-purpose bowl for soup, cereal or a side salad. Be careful when loading into and unloading from the dishwasher, and don

No, extra serving cups are not available separately. I wish they were. They are better for sauces. I am going to as my husband to try to make something to attach more serving cups to make it more useful, as 8 of these would easily fit. With 8, they could be used for items to be dipped (fruit or veggie pieces for cheese or chocolate fondue), but they are smaller than what we would normally use, though not as small as on other lazy susan sets. I have now used them for both sauces (a bit big for sauces), and for pears, mushrooms, and onions to dip in cheese fondue. They worked well for both, but would work better if there were more of them.

i don't see why not....most bread bowls are toasted before filling and this soup comes out thick-ish so i'm confident you'll be able to serve bear creek soup in a bread bowl....hope your delish sounding menu turns out great ;0)

I am not sure which bowl is the "soup" bowl so I measured both boths using a measure cup. The bigger bowl holds 8 or 8.5 oz of water and the smaller bowl 6 oz of water, both with room to avoid spills or spillovers. These dishes are amazing. Still no breaks, scratches and chips, even with banging them together for several years. They are used every day. I wish they would also include a small bread plate in the set, that is my only complaint. Thanks!

Well, my 7 y/o uses it for lunch. I typically send a bowl along to pour the soup into. An adult could probably eat right out of it.

I don't see why not, as long as you don't need space for more that a few Tablespoons! And it would be the cutest soup bowl ever!!!!

I've been using mine for salad, but there are many possibilities for this lovely bowl... a small sand garden with a couple decorative rocks, or fill with water and a floating candle or two, or fill with rose petals, or small musical instruments like hand shakers, or small balls of yarn or other decorative crafts supplies, or folded cloth napkins, or colored decorative balls or rocks....

The pot is small. I believe it is intended to warm. I have used it for sauces, oatmeal, side of meatballs - nothing that could serve more than 2 people.

I just use it to sprinkle over dishes or add to recipes. It usually is not called for in the recipe so I couldn't even say what a "serving" is. It lasts me a long time though.

I bought a different set for serving bowls and my china did not have small bowls- not sure what I might have done if it did- if they are small might be able to buy one for cups or look around and see what options there are for bowls- definitely would not fit in the one pictured. That is just for flat plates and saucers.
