Personally I'd go with the ESB. My second choice would be the 1554. The hoppier (citrusy) beers I think are either going to mask the flavor of the soup, or contrast with it so that your palette doesn't adjust well between the two. I think the English style hops are more suitable to that kind of food, and the 1554 isn't very hoppy at all, but I almost think it's too much body when you're already enjoying a pretty heavy soup.
