They got one of the venues, but not the actual soup. Sure the xiao long bao at Ding Tai Fung are made of awesome, but I actually go there for the house beef soup. It's good in Taipei, Arcadia, Tokyo, Hong Kong AND Shanghai. I swear it's made with crack, it's so good. I like the pumpkin soup at Element Fresh, so sue me.

I've enjoyed the Bi Feng Tang daily broths that rotate throughout the week. Then again I grew up eating Heinz Oxtail Soup from a tin so am no expert.

Spot on with Hengshan Cafe, they've got the best soups in Shanghai. The daily soup, decent portion for 12 RMB, is a god send.

check out the soups at fast-food chain Zhen Gong Fu. Roughly 20 kuai gets you a set meal: soup, rice and steamed side dish, small thing of veggies. watch out for the MSG though.
