Amy,
You could get tongs for the test tubes quite cheaply. That's what I'd suggest. If not from the scientific supply, browse a restaurant supply store ... I know I've seen little curved metal tongs for next-to-nothing.
However, you have a different problem ... in a test tube, the soup is going to cool off in about 2.5 minutes.
There are always chilled soups...or if the test tube rack fits in a deep serving vessel you could fill the vessel with hot water.
I wish I were coming to your party, Amy! Sounds delicious.
