because heat travels to the spoon to your hand.the more you leave the spoon in the soup,the more heat travels to the spoon and gets hotter and hotter.
It is called, to the best of my knowledge, conduction.
If the spoon is metal, it gets hot because metal is a conductor, meaning it attracts heat.
The energy from the heated soup is transferred into the spoon. If you had a large enough spoon, so much of that energy would get transferred that the soup would be the same temp as the spoon.
it is the transfer of heat

You use a spoon to eat the soup in a soup bowl
Put the soup bowl on a plate and then put the spoon on top of the right side of the plate. That's simple.

A cold spoon will extract heat from the soup, a spoon that is warmer than the soup will transfer heat to it.
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.
A soup serving spoon is a wide circular spoon. It is wider than the average spoon. This reason is because it can allow for a large scoop of soup per spoonful.
That is through 'conduction'
To eat soup, dip the spoon into the soup, then remove it by going away from your body, not toward it. Sip the soup off the side of the spoon, instead of placing the whole spoon in your mouth.
you pick up the bowl and use it like a cup!
Conduction if the spoon is a conductor
The spoon gets hot - Relax, this is perfectly normal.
