Is a warm soup "une soupe chaude"?

I marked myself down for writing "je fais une soupe tiède" rather than "je fais une soupe chaude". 

In English warm doesn't mean hot, and in fact I'm not sure we would say "warm soup", but "hot soup". Does "tiède" mean warm? Or do we always use "chaud" for food?

Also, the bot corrected my "une crème brûlée fait maison" to "une crème brûlée faite maison" so I also marked myself down for that and then it turned out my original version was fine after all. :)
