What is the soup?
I am a teacher of English. In my new textbook Focus there are questions about ingredients in a dish. The topic is dialogues in a restaurant. The questions in the textbook are as following:
What is the soup?
What is the pizza?
What is the salad?
Both I and my students find the questions strange. Are they correct? How can you ask about ingredients of a dish in a restaurant in British English?

0I'm an American, but I think this question doesn't not relate to differences between American English and UK English.
What kind of soup is it? What kind of soup do you have? Could you tell me what is in the soup? Could you please tell me what the ingredient are in the soup?
It would be the same for the pizza and salad.
What kind of pizza is it? What's on the pizza? What comes
