This really depends on a few factors, such as a) how many dishes are going to 
be served with it? and b)where in the list it will be served.

For a main course soup, 8 - 10 ounces is a generous portion.  For anything 
else, it could be between 4 and 6, depending on the factors listed above.  
The best way to tell is to get an empty bowl and fill it with water until it 
"looks" like a good portion.  Then pour the water into a measuring device and 
see how much you have.

Hope this Helps
