By drinkable, I mean if theres pasta or vegatables they are small and the soup is generally able to be drank rather than necessarily needing a utensil to take in
All I can think of are
- italian wedding soup
- Liptons cup o soup (wish there was a heartier version of this with similar noodles but infinity of them)
ponders
I don’t know how one would quantify “heartiest”.
I guess if one uses caloric content, it’s probably something with a lot of oil, since oil is about as calorie-dense as you can get food.
Plus, you need it to “flow”, water doesn’t have calories, and so you’re going to want a liquid to replace water as much as possible.
Oil itself is drinkable, though I’d guess that you probably wouldn’t count it as a soup.
How much oil you can add to a soup – because various recipes I see online do have recipes suggesting “add to taste” – before it stops qualifying as a soup is probably not well-defined anywhere.
EDIT: That’s maybe more-analytical than what you want, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a soup, not listing some existing recipe. If you’re just looking for some hearty soup suggestions, this might qualify:

Peanuts have 587 calories in 100 grams, according to this database. So probably as much peanut and as little tomato as you will permit to qualify as “drinkable”.
EDIT2: Roux, a thickener, is also in significant part fat, and what isn’t fat is flour, which isn’t too shabby when it comes to calories either. So maybe a roux-based soup with as much roux as you’ll permit in before you’d call it not drinkable.
EDIT3:
I honestly wouldn’t have considered Italian wedding soup to be drinkable, myself – I thought that you wouldn’t permit large chunks of things – but if you permit in chunks, and the only constraint is that it needs to be pourable, that might open more options, since it’d let the water content be reduced.
