Who doesn’t enjoy a cozy bowl of nourishing broth on a chilly day? These styles make us want to curl up by the fire with our favorite soup (tortilla here!), so buy a set, grab a ladle and prepare for major homey vibes.
There’s just something about a bowl that makes food feel extra hearty and comforting, and when the bowls are white, they also feel classic. White bowls are a blank slate design-wise, so you can go nuts with the rest of your tablescape—that is, if you’re planning a tablescape. We’re also totally down with a big warm bowl on the couch (or, let’s be real, in bed).
If the bowls you’re buying aren’t in the ceramic family (porcelain, earthenware), it’s important to make sure they’re made from a non-toxic material that won’t degrade when it’s heated—like wheat straw fiber, which is a biodegradable plastic.
A shallow bowl—a bowl-plate, if you will—has more surface area, which means less time to reheat (and a quicker cool). Keep that in mind next time you pop a bowl of soup in the microwave to warm it up.
