How many cups are in one ladle?

So how many is it? I am talking about like a big standard soup ladle. Half Cup about?

My guess would be closer to 1 cup. Perhaps you could fill your ladle with water and pour it in to a measuring cup to see exactly how much?

I just had an egg white omlette made for me at a cafateria. I don't think it was a cup, because I got 2 ladlefuls, and I have made egg white omlettes a lot before, and I definitely did not get 2 cups worth.

What type of ladel? If you are talking about a  commerical food service ladel? Usually there will be a marking on the handle closer to the "spoon" end. It may say 4oz, 2oz, 6oz etc. (I always look if eating out at the buffet) If it is a ladel in your kitchen you may need to pour into a measuring cup to find out exactly. In the food service usually the soup ladel is around 6 - 8 oz. Approx. 1/2 cup.

Food service at my work is 6 oz, and that looks like the usual size to me.  That would be 3/4 cup.

Ok, thank you.

I made sure to notice the marking on the ladel today, and it read 3oz. So less than half of a cup.
