I'm more inclined to just leave it on my plate uneaten but if asked, I absolutely explain, calmly and pleasantly, why I didn't eat it.   If the server doesn't ask, I let it go and chalk it up to a learning experience. 

 IMHO, most restaurants want to and think they are sending out good product.    I have trouble bringing to their attention that they aren't.    Most of the time, tables around us are happily chomping down the same plate I am leaving.    Usually I just chalk it up to my choosing the wrong restaurant.

I'm with the majority who don't want to bring negative energy to the whole table but I've politely asked if there's a way that a barely tepid soup could be warmed up.
