What's the scoop? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ladle

'what's the scoop?' is the definition.
(as in ladling out scoops of food)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ladle that I've seen before include "It's used to serve soup" , "Large deep spoon for serving soup" , "Scoop" , "one in 10 [GRUEL] ?" , "Soup or sauce server" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
