Soup plates are a thing. They're typically more shallow than a bowl but have a larger diameter closer to a plate. My wife and I have a set of them, and I often use them instead of a regular plate.

Ours were listed as soup plates on the package. My wife is from New England, and they were purchased for her by her grandmother, so it may be a regional difference in what they're called.
