Unfortunately, using a ruler to measure the height of the soup left in the pot will not accurately determine the amount of soup the family ate. The height of the soup does not directly correspond to the quantity of soup in the pot.
The best way for Montel to find out how much soup his family ate is to use a measuring cup to measure the amount of soup left in the pot, and then subtract that number from the initial 12 cups. This will give him the total amount of soup his family consumed.
