Sounds interesting. The spring onion mix is like a spring onion oil to flavour the soup?  I like spring onions, so may use the oil idea.

Spring onion oil? It is something that is sold? I've never saw or bought

[Thermomixer]

No, not one to buy - just seen it used in some Chinese dishes like you did, but strained, and added at the end.

My feedback;
I made this tonight and found the soup on its own prior to adding onion/oil mix quite bland.
I used flat leaf parsley and it was a bit too much for my taste. I think next time I will use a bit less parsley.
I did use pumpkin instead of potato because that is what I had on hand.
I think using potato would give it more body than what I experienced because of the starch.
I think next time I will try more veg concentrate, and maybe add some garlic and chilli.
Zucchini is quite a bland vegetable so needs a bit of oomph!!
I enjoyed the zing the spring onion provided.
