My favorite is from my childhood and it's still made here once or twice a year.
It's a vegetable soup but not the type most are used to. The potatoes are skinned and cut in half, the carrots skinned and cut in half, and the beef put into the pot in one big piece. Tomatoes and cloves play a big part in this soup.
The soup broth is served over Kluski noodles and the meat, potatoes, and carrots are served on a platter and everyone helps themselves.

This is really a Polish vegetable soup.... It was a staple at GrandmaKoz's house thru my childhood.

Does Chili count ?  It would be my favorite.  If not, homemade vegetable or clam chowder.

Some of the best soup I've ever had was a Cilantro Cream soup in Rosarito, Mexico.  Though, I've never found another place that made it.

My other favorites are Creamy Tomato Basil and Cream of Mushroom.

I make crab and corn soup (seasoned with jalapenos and thickened with pureed potatoes) that everyone seems to love.

There's a great recipe for Alsatian cabbage soup floating around the web. I improve on it by adding one (secret!) ingredient. (I love trying to recreate delicious things I've eaten out, and there's a soup place in Ann Arbor that has the greatest cabbage soup ever. My version comes close, I think.)

In summer I'll sometimes do iced watermelon soup, but it can be such a sticky mess that I only make the effort for that one on special occasions. (You start by pureeing an entire watermelon, in batches. Yes, I've overflowed the food processor a few times.)

I love good soup and make my own frequently. A restaurant with a good soup guy on staff is always on my good list.

For me a basic, French-Canadien style split pea soup.

It's all about the tomato soup and a grilled cheese sammich! ;-)

Of course, there would be not objections to a good French onion soup or some clam chowdah!

A good receipe for the Polish soup would be great, Polish food is not available in our area, but we always welcome new cuisine.    Please provide a receipe--sounds particularly good in cold weather--something that we're suffering right now, but not in the extreme sense you guys are.  Who Dat!

Most of the soups I generally make myself end up an awful lot alike--there are always lentils or split peas involved.

But I do make a version of Olive Garden's "Zuppa Toscana" which is really excellent.  I sometimes throttle back on the whipping cream, however, and use milk.  Here's one copycat recipe.  I don't use Italian sausage, but breakfast sausage, Jones' Farm or Park's, cooked and crumbled, and I use the kale, not the chard.  In fact, I think I'll make some today.  Gotta make a kale run, however.

A few years ago I went to a Vietnamese restaurant and had a big bowl of soup.  A couple spoonfuls in to the soup I saw a small cockroach floating in it.  I called the waiter over, showed him the bug and expressed my outrage.  He promptly ran to the kitchen, returning with a spoon and scooped out the roach.  He smiled and said, "okay now Joe?"   :o

Needless to say, I'll stick to chowder!  :*))
