It cools to form igneous rock, which over time may be eroded down to become a component of the soil. The larger contributor to rich soil around volcanoes is the ash which settles after an eruption.

How does lava flow become rock and then become a lava flow again?
It cools then it heats back up! Lava is molten rock (rock that is a fluid due to high temperatures). When lava cools, it becomes rock once again. Due to tectonic activity from the Earth's crust, rock can be shoved down into the mantle, which is extremely hot, which melts the rock once more. The whole process is analogous to water freezing to become ice, and then melting to become water once more.
