Yes, it is common to use the word "have" when referring to "eat" or getting something to eat. This word is common to use when ordering food in a restaurant. You can use "have" for any food, not just soup. Ex: I would like to have a tomato sandwich. Ex: What kind of food did you have at the restaurant?
