Spoilage in foods is due to fungus or bacterial growth. Dried soups lack water and so form a hostile environment to those organisms. Other methods of preserving food from spoilage include adding salt, adding sugar, adding vinegar canning, or irradiating the food. These last two kill any spoiling organisms inside the food, so until the food is removed from it's sealed package it doesn't spoil.
Many liquids are heated to a particular temperature and held there for a prescribed time to kill bacteria and prevent spoiling. Milk and milk products are usually treated this way which is called pasteurization. Many other liquids that are subsequently bottled are treated in the same way.
It is a matter of food safety. Food should be kept hot enough (or cold enough) to prevent the food from spoiling. That would make the food unsafe to eat.
