OK, so here's my review of the Asian Chicken and Chili Soup. Good overall flavor, but somehow lacked depth. When you got spoonfuls with the freshly chopped scallion, it had a really nice almost onion soup quality flavor that gave it what the rest was missing.
Possibly the soup would be better in 2nd day status, though I'm a bit skeptical about that since the recipe specifically called for you to reheat/cook some of the ingredients for only a few moments just before eating.
But, the flip side of the light flavor is a benefit... As JB noted, you don't feel bad about eating a whole big bowl of it, and soaking up the bottom with bread since it's pretty light!
I did bring some in for my friend Leah to try, perhaps she'll give us an Iron Chef guest judge review in a comment later, though I can't picture her with a high shy voice constantly giggling in between comments or anything (thinking old school IC here). She'd be more the serious food columnist reviewer, though hopefully not as harsh.
And tonight - Tostadas!

I dug the chicken soup. Subtle flavors . . . flavorful chicken stock and chicken. Vegetables offered a great consistency. I want to try this recipe. I would like to make mine a little spicier. I think that would add to it.
