Does anyone know the purpose of this? The waiter brings out your soup bowl and places it in front of you. It usually has some dry ingredients already in it (mushrooms, seafood, etc) and then they have a little ladel filled with the broth/soup and pour it into the bowl right in front of you. Is there a reason for this? Or is it just fancy presentation.

Nicer restaurants focus more on service and presentation. In your case, I believe it serves more than just that purpose. If the broth was poured at the table, it's my assumption that it was done to preserve the texture of the contents in your bowl. This way the ingredients in your bowl would have less time to become mushy or soggy. Or maybe the chef wanted the soup to be poured at the table for another reason.

I guess it's for presentation. I've worked in some upscale restaurants and we never did that. In fact the only time I've seen that done was at a little Chinese place when I had ordered sizzling rice soup.

Fancy presentation and proof that they didn't just use a can.
