Proper form for carrying a bowl of soup with your first dinner serving.
When to use: when the buffet is young and the lines are long; a quick cup of soup is hot now, enjoy it and Round 1 before your second trip.
How to do it: Get your soup and saucer, and place your fourth and fifth fingers under the saucer, in the center. Move your third finger to the side of the saucer, still underneath it, for lateral support. With your free hand, add the empty plate resting on top of the cup of soup, and supported laterally by your second finger. Build your plate with your free hand (while impressing the other people in the buffet), then use your thumb as control for the plate not falling off the cup.
KEY: Doesn't work without the saucer
Degree of difficulty: 4 out of 5
