It would have to be the rolling pin. I’ve had my eye on one for a while.

I’m jumping on board with the crowd and saying that the soup ladle is my favourite – although those measuring cups are so beautiful I wouldn’t want to use them.

I will definitely make this soup. Always looking for new recipes. The ladle is gorgeous–almost to nice to use!!
We eat a lot of one pot meals at our house so the beautiful ladle would be a joy to have in our kitchen. When not in use, just to look at!
The tall spurtle whisk would be an asset to any kitchen with those “hard to reach” beverage containers. What a treasured heirloom.

I love the classic salad serving set.
I love the original ladle spoon. What beautiful craftsmanship!
How wonderful to have the chance to win a piece of art. In love with that soup ladle, but I think I would be afraid to use it. Call it art for the kitchen….beautiful pieces, too many to pick from, but I do like the small roux spoon and the flour scoop and……
Good morning Yvonne, Can’t wait to try your soup. Thanks for the giveaway . I think they are all gorgeous, coffee spoons for sure!
I’ve actually have been following them on instagram for awhile now. Isn’t “spurtle” fun to say? I adore everything in their collection.
Fingers crossed.
Anything and everything! But especially the spurtles!
I would love the ladle/spoon. So many ways to use this beautiful item.
Wow, that ladle is gorgeous and I have never owned anything quite so nice to work with in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing and now I am going to have to go check them out.
I think I just fell in love with that simple scoop.
I have that and use it all the time!
Hi Yvonne, Thank you for the chance to win this amazing work of art. Would love to have that ladle or any one of their pieces and pass it down from generation to generation.
Your soup sounds amazing and I look forward to making it sometime soon. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.
God Bless,

I like the Simple Scoop as my first choice.
I would like the gourmet wood utensil set.
I would be so happy to receive this super work of art, would make cooking so much fun. I also think the measuring cups would not only display beautifully but be just what my recipes would need. Thanks so much for the offer.
God Bless,

My fav is the Ultimate Dreamware Collection, but they are all absolute works of art!!
The Classic Serving Spoon is a work of art!
I love that simple scoop.
I’m confused by a few things in the recipe.
1. Step 1 says add the meat “in bathes” Meaning ______??
2. Do you add the soup bones in step 2?
3. I have to leave out barley (and the noodles) due to severe gluten-intolerance. Should I add anything in their place such as a little cornstarch, assuming the barley might add some thickening quality as well as flavor?
Thank you!!! I think my husband and I ate a piping hot bowl of this kind of soup years ago outside on a cold, autumn day at an old settlers’ type fair in a park. SO good, especially eaten outside in the cold! I’ve been wondering what soup it was all these years!!! 😀
Jean
*Love your blog and Facebook posts!*
The Tall Spurtle Whisk looks perfect for so many tasks!
I would love the Ultimate Dreamware collection!
The measuring spoon set is absolutely beautiful!!
I’m a potter specializing in soup tureens. I make my own ladles, but have always wanted a wooden one as they don’t chip the edges! I do hope I win. I don’t do social media, but I’ve passed this onto my friends. I hope that counts. 🙂
I just love the Amelia spoon, the cookie spatula and of course that amazing ladle. The Polder craftsmanship is outstanding in every way. Wow. What a treat to spend time on their website.
The salad set is beautiful. The craftmanship is beautiful Di@cottagewishes
I will be making the vegetable soup this week – it looks delicious. I would purchase the large minimalist wooden spoon.
They are all beautiful. I like the ultimate cooking set
All are beautiful but the *NEW* ORIGINAL LADLE SPOON caught my eye.
I would love to have the Tall Spurtle Whisk, looks perfect for making a good roux.
I would love the measuring cups or spoons! Everything is amazing and would be heirlooms for future generations!
For practicality, I’d have to go with the gorgeous ladle, but there’s something about their flour scoop that speaks to all of my farmhouse fantasies!
Hi Yvonne. My favorite is The Simple Scoop. Their items are so pretty. Just to have one in a untensil jar next to a stove would be divine. Happy Fall. Love all your ideas and pins.
Patricia (NC Coast)
I’d like the Original Ladle Spoon.
These are truly works of art! I LOVE the large minimalist soup spoon! Thanks for the opportunity to win one.
Polder Old World Kitchen has amazingly beautiful kitchen utensils. I can see why this would be a lovely item to past down to Grandchildren. I love the large wooden soup ladle. I have two granddaughters one eleven and one three. I am always telling them that someday they will have Grammy’s measuring spoons and some of my baking items. Thanks for the chance to win a lovely giveaway!
Printed your soup recipe and look forward to making it soon.
I love the workmanship of Polder Old World Kitchen! I think the elegance of the large soup ladle is my favorite but they are all beautiful.
LARGE TWO CUP MEASURING CUP
Beautiful! I love them all, but especially the scoop and the shuttle.
Love the simplicity of line in their designs. Love the graceful handle on the ladle. That would be something to pass down.
Ahhhh, autocorrect got me again! I meant to say spurtle.
That ladle is amazing!! I want it all, actually. LOL
Everything in their catalog is absolutely beautiful. I don’t think I can choose just one piece. I love the soup ladle you featured as well as the salad servers.
Definitely the Koa wooden scoops – all are beautiful!
I like the large ladle spoon / gumbo spoon.
WOW! I had NO idea! I still use the wooden spoons I bought back in the 70s. These are works of art. I had no idea wooden utensils like these existed. I am sure anything they make would be wonderful for the kitchen. Very nice!
The measuring cups ,the chef spoon, where do I stop?? The craftsmanship is amazing! Thank you for the opportunity!
THAT ladle is to die for So beautiful and useful this time of year The measuring cups and spoons are very nice and that spurtle whisk looks interesting Thanks

I love the Mew Original Ladle Spoon!
I love the mesuring spoons. They are pretty.
I would love to have the Large Minimalist Wooden Spoon!
Wow! I would love anything! Everything is so beautiful. Going to the store today to get the ingredients to make this soup.
Have a blessed day, Yvonne! (and everyone!)
I’d love any piece!
Although I really like all of the ladles, the large soup ladle is my favorite! I love the curve at the serving end! 🙂
My hubs made vegetable soup today while watching football. Don’t they go together? No turnips however, the store did not have any. He usually adds a bay leaf. Our French bread is cooking in the oven. A ladle pictured would round out the day. Happy Fall, it’s my favorite.
Sound like perfection. As I’m answering this Kathryn we are watching football too. But our Eagles are not doing well and my husband is yelling at the coach and team through the tv. I tell him he needs to yell a little louder so that can hear him real good. So funny!
Oh my! These take me breath away- they are beautiful works of art! In addition to the beautiful soup ladle, I would love the spatula set.
That ladle is stunning! I also very much like the Best All Purpose Spoon and the beautiful measuring cups.
That ladle is absolutely gorgeous! I also really love the Farmer’s Wife Spoon. It’s beautiful. You’re right, these spoons really are works of art.
Love that Polder simple scoop.
I also very much like the measuring cups and spoons!
I would love to own their ORIGINAL LADLE SPOON
That ladle is gorgeous! I would love to see it decked out in a rustic holiday setting. *swoon* As for my favorites… the wooden measuring cups, minimalist double measuring spoon, and the ultimate spatula set are definitely on my list. Thank you so much for offering such a generous giveaway!
The wooden spoons are beautiful; my 1st choice would be the new large minimalist spoon.
I like the that’s darling measuring cups.
The large minimalist spoon!
Dreamy…My favorite was the minimalist measuring spoons! So neat with the extra long handles!
Oh, my gosh, what beautiful spoons and scoops!! I love everything, but if I have to pick it would be the Large Ladle or the Measuring Cups, Minimalist Spoons or Spurtles or ANYTHING!! I love them all!! Thank you for such a nice giveaway!
It has been a while since I have seen such beautiful workmanship!! Of course, the ladle is gorgeous and I would love to own it. I also love the ultimate spatula collection and the measuring cups!

I like the simple scoop
Where did u get yr lampshade over yr kitchen sink. Jane
I love the classic salad serving set. It is gorgeous.
Love that soup! We serve soup quite often in our home. (Except when the grand kids come over then it’s soup for adults and mac and cheese for the grandchildren). I vote for the rolling pin, the southern bell scoop and the man size spurtle, well actually I love all of it. They are definitely a work of art. Love this collection! Would love to have an artisian work of art in my kitchen!
I would love to win the Artisan Coffee Scoop Set! They are just beautiful!!! I would love to feel them in my hands! Thank you for the soup recipe and the chance to enter this contest!
I would Love the Italian Villa spoon. It has such an elegant Tuscan look! But I would use it for serving foods from all over the world. But, especially all the variation of pastas from the diverse regions in Italy—tagliatelle from Puglia, Bigoli from the Veneto, tortellini from Lombardi, Linguine from Campania. Lasagna from Calabria, Strangozzi from Umbria,and Parpardelle from Tuscany.
And , of course the Classic Salad Serving set. How elegant it would look serving greens and other salads.
These beautiful tools such cooking inspiration and enjoyment!
Could you do the soup in a crockpot?
Yes. I would brown my meats well and also cook my onions, celery and carrots in the meat juices until the onions are translucent and then put it in a slow cooker. Give it a try and tell me how it works for you.
Exquisite craftsmanship! My dad worked with wood and I know it is a labor of love.
So many beautiful pieces. I liked everything. Especially the grain scoops, measuring spoons, ice cream scoop, all the unique long handled items..everything.
Thanks.
The simple scoop is just my style. Everything they make is beautiful! I have family antique butter paddles and butter mold, so I have a deep appreciation for wooden utensils. Of course, mine are definitely more utilitarian looking!
I like the Large Minimalist Wooden Spoon.
Actually, i like it ALL but that’s my favorite this hour!
I Pinned the giveaway

What a gorgeous piece of art. It would look so good hanging on the wall.
