Set of 6 Laguiole Soup Spoons
These Laguiole soup spoons are sold six to a set, handmade in France by Laguiole en Aubrac with handles in wood, horn or stone. A soup spoon is the large spoon of the place setting, the spoon for broth, cream soups and chowder. Every handle on these Laguiole spoons also comes on the maker’s dinner forks and steak knives, so one material can run across the whole table.
Pick a single material for the set, or the mixed set, with six different handles so nobody grabs the wrong spoon. The olive handles are satin-finished, while horn, stone and some woods are polished. For a full place setting, add the Set of 6 Laguiole Dinner Forks and the Set of 6 Laguiole Steak Knives. For dessert, see the Set of 6 Laguiole Dessert Spoons.

Olive wood, pistachio or buffalo horn
Olive wood is chosen for its grain, a wavy figure running over a light background, and no two handles come out the same. It's dense and well balanced, with a satin finish. Pistachio is a firm wood with a strong, marked grain that changes from spoon to spoon. Polished buffalo horn turns a deep black that catches the light and shifts as you turn the spoon, and Laguiole knives have carried it since the 19th century. Choose olive for a light, wavy look, pistachio for bolder grain, or horn for a glossy black set. To see how the handles compare, read Knife Handle Materials.

French soup spoons for a full place setting
In France, the cuillère à soupe is the big spoon laid at each place beside the knife. These French soup spoons sit in the same spot on an American table, so nothing about your setting has to change. Many American flatware sets call this same piece a dinner spoon or place spoon, and these fill that role too. Factory-made cutlery often carries the Laguiole name, since it isn't protected. These spoons are handmade in France by Laguiole en Aubrac.
Soup spoons now, dessert spoons later
Dessert spoon sets exist for each wood and horn shown here, so both spoons at each place can match. Stone handles, deep blue or green and polished, come as soup spoons, dinner forks and steak knives, but not as dessert spoons. The mixed set, six animal materials from glossy black horn to cream, also comes as dinner forks and steak knives. Start with whichever piece you use most, then add the rest in the same material when you're ready. Natural handles vary, so expect small shifts in color and grain between sets bought at different times.
Soup spoon questions
Who invented the spoon?
No one person did. People were scooping food with shells and carved bits of wood long before written history, and spoons of wood and stone have turned up in ancient Egypt. The English word traces back to the Old English spon, a chip of wood. Laguiole en Aubrac still uses wood and stone, along with horn, for the handles of these soup spoons, made by hand in France.
Soup spoon vs tablespoon: what's the difference?
A tablespoon is a recipe measure, equal to three teaspoons, and some flatware sets also use the name for a large serving spoon. A soup spoon is a place-setting piece with a bowl made for eating soup at the table. Use measuring spoons in the kitchen and keep these Laguiole spoons for the table, where they sit beside the matching forks.
Are soup spoons and dinner spoons the same?
Often they are: one large place-setting spoon going by two names. Some American sets keep the name soup spoon for a rounder, deeper bowl and call the oval one a dinner spoon or place spoon. Laguiole en Aubrac names them after the French cuillère à soupe, and each set holds six.
A care guide comes with every order. Wash the spoons by hand, then dry them without delay. A dishwasher can't take wood or horn, so keep those handles clear of it.
