How do you serve your soup? Do you ladle it out into soup plates in the kitchen? Do you bring your big stockpot to the table? Or do you have an elegant soup tureen? Soup tureens always seemed very genteel and old-fashioned; they're the sort of thing you get at a wedding and never use. But we think that now in the heyday of soup parties, soup tureens are getting a fresh moment! Here are a few of our favorite soup tureens. We think all of these tureens look fresh and appealing... but we do wonder why so many tureens are so expensive!
• Ego's Soup Tureen and Ladle, $175 at A+R. Modern and sleek.
• Alessi Soup Tureen, $157 at Fitzsu. Lovely! This is definitely not just a tureen; we could see this used for a lot of things.
• Pewter Soup Tureen, $160 at Horchow. Eeek! We know. Such a classic piece, for such a price. Garage sale, anyone?
• La Chamba pot/tureen, $89.95 at A.R.E Naturals. We love these black clay pots.
• Pear Tureen, $24.99 at WS Home. So affordable!
• Clay Soup Tureen, $40 at SERRV. Profits go to a good cause, too.
• Great White Soup Tureen, $40 at Pottery Barn. A classic piece.
• Echo Soup Tureen, $250 at Bloomingdales. Another whopper of a price, but so fancy!
• Staccato Soup Tureen, $58 at Crate & Barrel. Another classy white piece.
• Butterfly Polish Pottery Tureen, $125.95 at Polish Pottery Online. So bright and colorful!

My mom gave me a soup tureen that I loved but I broke the lid. : (
I love the footed one from Pottery Barn - and it's such a good price. I think I may have to take a shopping trip!

I bought one of those chamba clay pots for my partner last Christmas. (He's a much bigger cook than I am. :D I like to read about cooking in the hopes that it will inspire me to do it eventually.) It was some of the best money I ever spent. It is not only a lovely tureen, but as cookware, it can also go on the stove and in the oven. The only downside is the need to handwash it. Relatively, this seems like a small price to pay. I love this thing, can you tell? I got his at Viva Terra, but they apparently no longer sell them.

About the chamba--there are several places that sell them online, www.mytoque.com seems to have the largest selection. I find that they clean up pretty easily by hand.
