"V oranžových talířích vypadá špatně ta polévka." Would this translation also be acceptable? "Ve" would mean "in" a bowl whereas "na" would mean "on" a flat plate.
Using 'v' is fine. Your word order is really strange though. '...vypadá ta polévka špatně.' or ...ta polévka vypadá špatně.' are both way better.
Your order would be applicable only in extremely limited and artificial situations:
What looks bad in orange plates, that soup or that spaghetti? That soup looks bad in orange plates.
Co vypadá špatně v oranžových talířích, ta polévka, nebo ty špagety? V oranžových talířích vypadá špatně ta polévka.
As you can see I used a different sentence in English, not the one used in the exercise, so I don't think this should be accepted.

Having thought more about this sentence, it is also unusual to serve soup on plates! However, I had misunderstood the meaning. The colour of the soup does not match well with the colour of the plates.
Well, cultural differences. The slightly unusual English word order is supposed to help users when translating to Czech.
