Q24: 'how did you find the soup'

Hello teachers, 

The context is: In a restaurant, a waiter is attending a customer. He takes his/her order. The customer orders for a soup and the waiter brings him the soup. He (the waiter) puts the soup on their table and walks away saying 'Sir/ma'am, here's your order for xyz soup. Enjoy your soup!'. After a while, the waiter comes back to the customer and asks 'Sir/ma'am, how did you find the soup?' 

Teachers, I want to ask you what sentence in bold means, please. Is it correct English?

Thank you.

Is it also possible to say 'How did you like the soup?' If I want to ask somebody 'How was the soup? Did you like it/did it taste good?'?
