Since the spoon is cooler than the bowl of hot soup, the molecules move from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. With this happening, the molecules keep transferring until the spoon is the same temperature as the bowl with soup or most likely a little over room temperate, which would be its heating point.

You might think conduction but this isn't completely accurate. The spoon will pick up some heat from contact with the hot bowl (not the soup) by conduction, but the total surface contact is much less than the surface contact with the soup, which transfers the heat to the spoon by convection. The soup cooled by the spoon will sink to the bottom of the bowl exposing it to hotter soup conveyed by the convection currents created by the changes in temperature.
