Yes it was hot. I didn't take the temperature

As long as it's sill hot, it should be fine.
We leave the soup out (w/o the flame on) for a good few hours after it's made before putting it in the fridge, as it takes quite a while to cool down. (Obviously, the timing for cooling down will depend on the size of the soup...)

IME spoiled chicken soup will taste bad and/or smell bad. You won't be able to miss it.

Put up the soup last night and it was simmering on the fire when I went to sleep. Woke up 7 hours later and it wasn't bubbling anymore. Do I have to be concerned for spoilage?

Totally fine lichatchila. We do this regularly

Thanks everyone

Hack: put the pot in your kitchen sink and fill the sink with cold water and you'll have cool soup in about 15 minutes!
(don't do this in a plastic Pesach insert)

Good Idea.

Or in any under counter sink

Clarification: Don't do this in an under counter sink. It is likely to collapse.

It depends on how the sink is connected to the countertop or supported

I don't see why it shouldn't hold. If it can hold a sink full of water, or a sink full of dishes, I don't see why it can't hold a pot of soup..

16 Quarts of soup is 32+ Lbs, how much does a sink full of dishes weigh?

Don't ever expect your under the counter sink to hold a sinkful of water unless you are certain it has enough support for that. Hatzolah has calls every year for people burned when the sink they are kashering collapses and boiling hot water bursts all over the place.
Also, this IS a sink full of water and not just a pot of soup if you are using a sinkful of water to cool down your pot.

I never weighed my dishes. But I'm sure that when the sink is full of dishes, cutlery, glass stem ware etc. weighs more than a sink full of water.

If you really think this, you should never give people advice again because you will end up getting someone in the hospital over this. I hope the random halachos you post are more thought through than this.

Sinks that can't hold the weight of its volume in water, is imo, either a junky sink, or a bad installation. (I'd imagine that most people have decent sinks)

Undermount sinks can be installed with Epoxy or with additional support mechanisms, epoxy will not be able to hold too much, but the bigger the sink the more it should be able to hold.
My sinks are also supported by the cabinets as it consumes the full width of the cabinet

I never gave advice! I was just stating my opinion (if I'm allowed).

This is not an opinion. It is a fact that (most) undermount sinks are not installed to be able to hold that much weight. It is a fact that this is not only when it is faulty installation. It is a fact that a sinkfull of water weighs quite a bit more than all of those stuff. It is a fact that

It is a fact that this thinking is foolhardy and dangerous.

[aygart]

but the bigger the sink the more it should be able to hold.

And the more it weighs when full of water.
