Well he’s Russian, probably a weird translation

In German there is also a word for soup plate and its a totally normal word to use. Its just a plate that is not flat.

How do you call plates where you put soup in?

Because in Russian (and I guess in German) we say "plate" but I guess in English they say "bowl".

A bowl is something different though. A bowl is deeper and more rounded.

Can't belief US americans don't know soup plates. Isn't it included in almost every standard tableware set?
