I love soup. Unfortunately, I now live in an area where soup is nearly the same temperature as outside. I still enjoy it on the winter months and inside my home if I lower my thermostat down 3 degrees to 65.
Anyway, here are my top 3 soups in no particular order (they are all #1!):
Pho- I know the Vietnamese have a few other great dishes, but I will never try them. Why bother? They somehow perfected chicken soup, which is probably the #1 comfort food of everyone in the Western world (and Vietnam apparently). Everyone knows what chicken soup tastes like, so I don't need to tell you, but they add a bunch of crap that makes it better.
Red Curry- All curries are amazing. It's creamy, sweet, spicy, and savory. It triggers nearly every taste sensation. You can't go wrong with any curry, but red is my favorite. I like spicy foods and red typically is the spiciest. Add pineapple and shrimp and I think this dish has one of the most complete taste palates.
French Onion- I don't care much for french cuisine. I don't see much of a difference between them and the Chinese that eat live mice. At least the Chinese don't pretend like it's some high cultured experience. However, no one can deny their cheese, baguette, and french onion soup is amazing. Rich, sweet, salty, and savory. The only reason this isn't known as an American dish is because they had several centuries head start.

Fish maw is the dried swim bladder of large fishes and a good substitute for Shark's Fin which many of us like, since they're similar in texture: https://www.newmalaysiankitchen.com/fish-maw/
