Ooh, I like all of those! But garlic and chili only if they're used very sparingly lol.
Hmmm that's a hard one. But I like my soups clear, and if not clear, very thin. So I like Tomato Shorbha better than the regular tomato soup you get in restaurants. And I like Mooli Sambar (also called Mullangi Sambar), a lentil soup with radishes. I like it very thin, too, less lentil and more radish and water. I like Pappu Chaaru, another thin sweetish lentil soup (it's got a bit of jaggery in it) and I like regular Chaaru, a clear soup, but there's a variety of ways of making that one. I like it mild, with a bit of tamarind, and made from scratch, not from Chaaru powder. I'm sorry, these are all probably things you've never heard of lol

Oh! I like the mild clear noodle soups you get in some Japanese and Korean cuisine, though I doubt I've ever had anything authentic because I haven't been there and also I'm vegetarian.
What about your favourites?
