One reason Chinese food is so cheap is one of the main ingredients is rice which is dirt cheap. Now shrimp is more expensive but what they use is in the rang of 40-50 count (40 to 50 shrimp per pound) or pop corn shrimp both of which is also a lot cheaper. As for the soup most soups are about 75 to 90% water unless you get into the cream or cheese soups. As for breakfast it's cheaper once again because what you get is cheaper.

One of the great myths is the restaurants get all their food a lot cheaper then what you spend in the store when it truth other then a few things this is true(rice being one of the exceptions). Most items they are maybe pay 5 to 10 cents less per pound then what you do in the store.
