When eating soup, should the soup spoon be placed on the saucer between sips - or can it be left in the bowl?

Proper etiquette states the following:

"Dip your spoon away from yourself to fill your spoon with soup. Rest your spoon periodically. When a service plate under the soup bowl is provided, always place your spoon on the service plate behind the bowl. If no service plate is provided, obviously you rest your spoon in the soup bowl. Used utensils are never placed on the table. Sip quietly. To finish the last bit of soup, you may slightly tip your bowl to fill your spoon."

So, according to "Miss Manners":

"Soup may be served in bowls or cups with small plates under them, in which case the spoon is always parked on the underlying plate.

"At more or less formal dinners, soup is served in a so-called soup plate, which doesn't look like a plate because it is a rimmed wide, shallow bowl... When a soup plate is used, the spoon is parked in plate.

"With two-handled soup cups... it is... permissible to drink from the lifted cup."

"Between mouthfuls, rest the spoon in the bowl. When you have finished, place it on the under plate on the right hand side. That is a signal to the server that you have finished. "

The soup spoon should be put on the saucer .
It is safer than leaving it in the bowl and accidently bumping it
and splashing soup all over you or your table mate.

According to the career services office at Virginia Tech University, the spoon should be placed on the saucer or service plate, behind the bowl, periodically. If a saucer is not given, place the spoon in the bowl, rather than on the table itself.
