A stock pot is the quintessential pot used for making soup. It’s tall, so no matter how many people you’re cooking for, a stock pot can hold all your ingredients. You can get a 16-quart stainless steel stock pot for under $70 on Amazon. If you want one that’ll last a lifetime, Le Creuset has dozens of unique colored stock pots.

Bisques and other blended soups require a blender or immersion blender to get the taste and texture you’re looking for. Immersion blenders have the advantage because you don’t have to transfer your entire soup to a blender. An immersion blender is a hand-held blender you hold right in your soup pot, and it seamlessly blends all your ingredients together.

You can choose from a Cuisinart immersion blender with two speeds or get a Kitchen Aid blender from Amazon.

When your soup is ready, you need the right bowls to serve it in! Soup bowls have the distinction of being deeper than other bowls, so they’re better for serving soups and chowders. Wayfair has a set of six soup crocks that are made to look like beautiful pottery.

Soups like French onion soup need to be finished in the oven, so the cheese on top can melt, and the way you do that is with the help of a ramekin. These oven-safe dishes act like soup bowls but can withstand higher heat. 

Amazon has a set of six ramekins for under $20. Le Creuset also has a set of four ramekins made from durable stoneware and in classic Le Creuset colors.

Maneuvering hot soup bowls from the counter to the table can be a pain, but bowl holders can help. They’re cloth holders that go around the bottom of the bowl and make it safe to touch. You can get an adorable set of mushroom bowl holders from Amazon or Walmart also has a set of bowl holders with different fruits on them.

The only easy way to get the soup into the bowl is with a ladle. Ladles are simple, affordable kitchen tools you can find just about anywhere. Amazon has a basic stainless steel ladle while Le Creuset has a silicone ladle in different colors.

Soup spoons are wider than regular spoons, making it easier to eat soup. You can use basic silverware soup spoons, ramen and miso spoons or wood soup spoons, depending on the style you prefer.
