You can make almost any soup vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and mushroom broth instead of beef broth. If the recipe calls for meat, leave it out or use an analogue instead. Seitan (a.k.a. "wheat meat") is good in soups and stews, as it has a chewy, meaty texture.
Carrot and coriander or potato and leek would be my choices. They are both delicious.
New England Clam Chowder is one of my favorites. Maybe you can try that.
I would say leek and potato or a potato and corn chowder. If the weather is warm then perhaps a cold gazpacho?
butternut squash and potato soup.
