Heisig story:

To make soup, one begins with water and then starts adding things to it, often leftovers from the icebox. This is how the thick soup or stew called "seven-in-one" is made. This kanji does it three better, giving us a ten-ingredient soup.

Koohii stories:

1) [ceeeps] 3-9-2007(169): To make soup you just take water and add (+) the rest of your ingredients.

2) [ostracon] 4-12-2007(158): To make soup you just take water and add ten tasty ingredients.

3) [silkcherryblossoms] 10-6-2007(18): Water and ten ingredients can become a good soup!

4) [samesong] 28-6-2008(15): This soup is just water and needles - I can't eat this.

5) [Filanator] 18-2-2009(5): Water is ten times less tasty than soup.
