most Chinese restaurants r family owned anyway.. the name of the place is usually their surname

u can also order the chow mein: the vegetable medley soup if u want healthier

varying textures, with some things that are firm thrown in for example:

Potatoes with skin still on.
carrots that are not cooked until they become mushy.
extra-firm tofu.
thin julienned meats.
Lentils/beans/split peas
mushrooms.
bacon.
clams.

Bases that use one or more vegetables are nice, like bell pepper/tomato/carrot/split-pea/avocado/tomatillo

Strong and or spicy things to add flavor: ginger, fish/oyster juice, citrus, sesame oil, vinegar, pepper/peppers, celery juice,onions, herbs

for variety, bases that are not primarily:
cheese.
common animal stock such as chicken/pork.
cream/fat/butter.

Soups that taste good cold are awesome.
